1997: the year Blair was elected, and Diana died; and the year that changed everything for Charlotte, Karen and Nan. Charlotte is doing her 'A'-levels. And she's pregnant. Karen, her mother, is thirty-three; now she's about to be a grandmother. How chuffed is she with that? And then there is Nan, who isn't so bothered about her granddaughter's pregnancy -- she has other things on her mind. Where is she, again? The Bad Mother's Handbook is the story of one year in the lives of three unforgettable women, none of whom can quite believe how things have turned out.
