Most are middle-class women who are very successful, in areas like banking, the media, the law or running their own businesses - they tend to earn anything from ?ú50,000 up to the millions.

children reading sleep
Much of my reading time over the last decade and a half has been spent reading aloud to my children. Those children's bedtime rituals of supper, bath, stories, and sleep have been a staple of my life and some of the best, most special times I can remember.
