Meet Kate Reddy, fund manager and mother of two. She can do ten things at once: sell and buy stocks, change diapers, sort things out with her husband, fight off a stupid boss, bake pies, monitor the dictates of the Dow Jones index and much more. Kate can’t do one thing - to understand herself and understand who she wants to be more: a good mom and an excellent wife or a successful professional rapidly conquering the heights of the financial world. Kate’s life is a constant struggle with guilt and the disapproval of others. Relatives, non-working acquaintances, mothers, bosses, clients, male colleagues and even the nanny unanimously condemn Kate. And besides general disapproval, there are other misfortunes: chronic lack of sleep, multiplied by chronic insomnia, fears, bad luck and a complete lack of time. As a result, Kate's life is a series of funny, ridiculous and awkward situations in which she constantly finds herself in an attempt to somehow wriggle out and squeeze two lives into one. This sparkling novel has already created a sensation in the author's homeland, England. The author and her heroine have something to say about the hopes and disappointments of a modern woman. Kate is witty, resourceful and capable of sincere feelings. “And how does she do it?” is a funny and at the same time sad book, after which many women will think about changes in their lives, and men will look at their girlfriends differently.
