À propos de ce contenu audio
“What a celebration of female desire and empowerment…Wet Ink is a must read.”—Jennie Godfrey, USA Today bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
Blending wit, warmth, and rebellion, a story of desire and ambition in which the indomitable Mitzy Barlow builds a Tupperware empire by slipping erotic short stories in with her orders, accidentally sparking a feminist revolution among the housewives of her London suburb
London, 1969. Housewife and mother of two, Mitzy Barlow is tired of the stifling monotony of her everyday life. With a husband who brushes off all affection and a routine that leaves her bored out of her mind, playing pretend is no longer enough.
To help make ends meet, she hosts Tupperware parties, selling plastic promises of the perfect home. But her true escape has always come when scribbling fantasies in her journal each night to soothe the ache of a loveless marriage.
Soon she begins typing up her own stories, rewriting the endings of classic novels with bolder and steamier scenes, much to the delight of the neighborhood women who start sending in requests of their own. Under the safety of her new pseudonym "Queen B," Mitzy creates an air-tight system to deliver her erotica, sealing stories into Tupperware containers and taking discreet orders at her parties.
Demand is high, and as her secret career starts to blossom, Mitzy allows herself to dream of a different kind of life. But when whispers of indecent, unmotherly conduct start to spread that could put her family’s livelihood at risk, is Mitzy too naïve in thinking she can rewrite the ending of her own story before it’s too late?

Praise for Wet Ink
“A humorous take on motherhood, sisterhood and feminism, you'll never look at Tupperware the same again”—Bonnie Garmus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry
“A dazzling novel about a resourceful a woman who transforms her claustrophobic everyday into a provocative and empowering future, Wet Ink is mischievous, hilarious, and deliciously fun. The community Mitzy Barlow creates will have you calling your friends to schedule a book club, a (spicy?) supper club, or even, maybe, a Tupperware party. If you love Annie Hartnett, Bonnie Garmus, or Kevin Wilson, prepare to meet your next obsession: Abigail Avis.”—Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author
“What a celebration of female desire and empowerment. I loved Mitzy Barlow so much, and her Tupperware camouflaged storytelling brought me great joy. Wet Ink is a must read.”—Jennie Godfrey, USA Today bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things
“Uplifting, powerful and full of joy, Wet Ink hits all the right spots. A triumphant celebration of women winning, of community and independence. And oh, how I loved Mitzy Barlow”—Sarah Winman, author of Still Life: A GMA Book Club Pick
“A heartfelt, political, and important read (with a touch of spice!) that is only too relevant to modern-day readers, who will be cheering on its achingly relatable heroine. Insightful, at times infuriating, and wildly entertaining, Wet Ink is a breath of fresh air for every reader who has ever felt stifled by the parameters of motherhood. A cathartic triumph of a novel.”—Heather Marshall, #1 international bestselling author of Looking for Jane
“I read Wet Ink in one afternoon. It’s so much fun, so gripping and genuinely moving as well. If you liked Lessons in Chemistry you’ll love this - which is about as high a piece of praise as I can give. Just brilliant.”—Sophie Irwin, author of A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting
"The best exposé of sixties sexual politics this side of Surbiton, combining tongue-in-cheek spice with a poignant dissection of marriage. A genius, entertaining read."—Jo Leevers, author of The Museum of Second Chances
