'I absolutely loved it . . . Funny, dark, absurd, pin-sharp, insightful, propulsive, unputdownable' NINA STIBBE 'Hilarious, brilliant, utterly exhilarating' MONICA ALI 'Eminently readable, recognisable and reassuring. It's fantastic' JESSIE BURTON 'Lisa Owens asks what it is to be a mother - and this is the answer. I absolutely loved it' LUCY DIAMOND 'Very funny and very, very relatable' STYLIST, 2026 BEST FICTION PICKS 'A thunderously good novel' NATHAN FILER One perfect day. A million catastrophes. For weeks, she has been saying it will be their special day. One last, perfect day with her children before she returns to work after maternity leave. What's the worst that can happen? Unfolding across 24 hours, Natural Disaster is a propulsive, darkly funny and sharply observed novel about the absurd, frustrating, hilarious, precarious, bittersweet, sometimes astonishing challenge - literal, existential - of being a woman, a mother, a wife, a person for one single, entire day. 'Heartbreakingly astute and wincingly relatable, Natural Disaster is also the funniest novel I've read in years' CLAIRE POWELL, author of At the Table 'Brilliant and funny and all so searingly, hilariously true. A genuinely dazzling novel.

What a perfect depiction of early motherhood, womanhood, and love' OLIVIA POTTS, author of A Half Baked Idea 'I absolutely adored it. A masterfully drawn portrait of modern motherhood, hilarious and harrowing by turns' EMMA HUGHES, author of It's Complicated 'Generous, funny, heartbreaking and clever - a parenting caper with profound emotional clarity. I loved it' LIZZY STEWART, author of Alison
