Once, Helen’s life was like a well-organised filofax, and her boyfriend Matt was the icing on the cake. Now she’s juggling two kids, a never-ending renovation and a part-time job that’s become her refuge. As for that wildly sexy boyfriend, he’s turned into a wildly impractical husband. Even so, she doesn’t want to lose him to the Girl with Purple Hair . . .
This title is also available in the United States (Kensington Books).
‘An intelligent exploration of a non-fairytale approach to a huge and plausible modern-day family
challenge . . . ‘
The Sydney Morning Herald
‘The novel’s strengths are Jinks’s humour and her mastery of convincing details . . . Spinning Around is universal without being clichéd, familiar without being formulaic, typical without resorting to stereotypes.’
Australian Book Review
‘Funny and warm.’
