Winging It cover

'If Emma Murray writes it, I want to read it. Hilarious!' Cathy Kelly

Brand new from the bestselling author of Time Out and The Juggle.

When her husband David announces he’s been offered a job in New York, Saoirse is thrilled. The glamour of the big city, the shopping, the culture, not to mention the free Manhattan apartment and business class air fare – what’s not to like? There’s just the small matter of making it work for their daughter, five-year-old Anna, who isn’t so keen to leave her friends and school behind.
