Description

The Broadhurst sisters, book editor Emily and stay-at-home wife and mother Jill, are suffering severe cases of the-grass-is-always-greener syndrome. So, when Melbourne Cup Day rolls around, they decide to have an each way bet by trading places. But then they find they have to cope with an elusive pregnancy test, vegetable-flavoured punch, flying carpet bowls, a predatory femme fatale, a foul-mouthed three-year-old, and argumentative and accident-prone teenagers. Spend a madcap Melbourne show more Cup with the Broadhursts, and find out if the race that stops the nation can get their lives back on track. Ilsa Evans lives in a partially renovated house in the Dandenongs, east of Melbourne. She shares her home with her three children, two dogs, several fish, a multitude of sea-monkeys and a psychotic cat. Each Way Bet is her fourth novel. show less

Great for a fun read, a chaotic home life I can identify with. Some laugh out loud moments.
