WHAT IS HOME, I’M DARLING ABOUT?
Written by Laura Wade (Posh), Home, I’m Darling “is a scalpel-wielding dissection of the fetishisation of wifeliness, a 21st-century cultural cul-de-sac populated and policed almost entirely by women. The 1950s ideal of cupcakes and cocktails, vintage clothes and village fetes, is all good squeaky-clean fun at one level. But as Wade identifies, this icing sugar-drenched life is not as sweet as we might imagine.” Guardian
