I HATE HOUSEWORK is for women who hate housework and being told what to do. If you feel that you are a slave to your family, then read this book. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad and sometimes crazy, this is a quick and easy read. Meet 'Hagar', the Chinook-flying husband frequently on secret missions in 'The Stan', and the children, a son, 'The Grenade', and, a daughter, 'The Menace'. Listen to accounts of the handbag-bashing, bake-offs and backstabbing that conceal the isolated and unpleasant truth of the life for wives and girlfriends, the long celibate months alone with the kids waiting for news from the war zone, and Hagar's return, when, addicted to the high-octane thrill of combat, he is in need of action at home. This is a roller-coaster ride of laughs and home truths that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Born in the motherland of Yorkshire and then migrating south to the kingdom of Wessex, Clare Macnaughton dedicated her life to hedonism, sailing, beaches and sunshine, for as long as possible. Then she did some other stuff before she ghost wrote a battlefield memoir called ‘Immediate Response’, in-conjunction with a serving Royal Marine Major, published by Penguin. In September 09, in the second week of sales it entered at number 9 in The Sunday Times hardback, non-fiction, top 10 bestseller list. In 2012 I self published A Modern Military Mother - Tales from the Domestic Frontline.
