THE DEVIL WEARS PYJAMAS

slummy.jpgFiona Neill’s UK bestseller The Secret Life Of A Slummy Mummy (Century/Arrow UK) has become the talk of New York as a result of an endorsement from an unlikely quarter. Anna Wintour - the inspiration for the book/film The Devil Wears Prada - waxes lyrical about Fiona’s creation Lucy Sweeney in the current issue of American Vogue, calling her ‘a literary phenomenon to rival Bridget Jones’. She goes on to say it “plays with the chaos and comedy of 30-something metropolitan maternity and brings it to an unexpectedly moving conclusion”. Sarah McGrath at Riverhead/Penguin will publish shortly in the U.S.
