Details: Product description Ally Weaver lives with her husband Tom and her son Ben in Chester, a placid English town, in a world of well-kept gardens, antique clocks, elegant designer furniture, refined upholstery. An immaculate existence, a world that Ally, of humble origins, has always wanted, but in which she doesn't really feel comfortable. In his past there is a shadow that is impossible to erase, a pain too great to be forgotten. Luckily there is Juno, her best friend and neighbor, wife of an intellectual of French origin, Manny, and mother of two teenage daughters too perfect to be true. Juno is beautiful, self-confident, precise and tidy, she manages the house and family with a naturalness lubricated by the organic wholemeal oil that she consumes in abundance. But Juno has a surprise in store: she has decided to participate in a reality show called Cambio mamma. He will live for two weeks with another family in another city. In her place will arrive a new mother, Kim, unpredictable, messy, spontaneous and with a slightly rough manners: that is the exact opposite of Juno. How will Ally do without her best friend? Will he be able to accept Kim and the prying eye of the cameras? Difficult, because Ally hates change. He has seen too many to find interesting and knows that what is most precious can be lost in an instant. Unexpected and shocking, the reality show will eventually turn his life upside down and put his family's already precarious balance at stake.
