The school run is a novel written by Sophie King. This is a pseuddonym for well known journalist Jane Bidder. who's articles can often be seen gracing the pages of national newspapers and magazines.

The School Run is about seven different families who will all intermingle over the course of the books life span of a week, in ways that they would never imagine or dream about. I was intrigued at how the book was going to be told in a non confusing manner with so many characters in it as I read the blurb on the back, but was willing to give it a go. We meet Harriet who is married to a distant husband and ... Read the complete review
