Half way through the funeral of her sisterÆs best friend, 14-year-old Elin suddenly has her BIG IDEA. She doesnÆt want to go to school and sit pointless exams. She doesnÆt want to become the career woman her mother has dreamed of.
LifeÆs too short to waste on other peopleÆs ambitions. Elin wants to get married! So starts ElinÆs quest to be married by the time sheÆs 16.
She has two years to work towards her goal but there is so much she needs to know - from how to find Mr Right to understanding plumbing and DIY. Transformed from an A-grade schoolgirl to a top-notch investigator, Elin embarks on the secret æMrs Marridge ProjectÆ using her GCSEs as a model of study. But as she works through her Research (men, childcare, mortgages), Course Work (essays including æWhy Get Married?Æ), Field Studies (her relations) and Mocks (eloping with Melvin), Elin discovers much, much more than she bargained for . . .
Acutely observed and filled with sharp wit, this is a stunningly original and controversial novel about self-discovery and the freedom of choice û even if that choice is an unfashionable one.
