Description

Have you ever just popped into IKEA, only to spend the next hour wandering around the showroom, like a lab-rat in a maze?

In this collection of short stories, you’ll meet all sorts of characters straight out of daily life in Dubai. There’s:

Helicopter Mum – we all know her
The Atlantis Tooth Fairy – she’s not your run-of-the-mill fairy
Shopaholic Katie – admit it, you’ve also disappeared down the Karama rabbit hole
School teacher Hilary – will she get to keep the Range Rover gifted to her by the royal family?
Overworked Marcie – whose husband gets overexcited at the Expo 2020 and swaps their housemaid for a robot
Amir – a historical character who wants nothing more than to do his first, dangerous pearl dive

The book also includes Cupcakes & Heels, the story of workaholic mum Julie Wainscote, who takes on the challenge of becoming a stay-at-home mum and discovers that the school run is a catwalk, coffee mornings involve competitive catering and the class bear has been to Lapland. Will she have to admit that the adjustment is a step too far for her?
