I went to the British Book Awards that evening. I bumped into a woman I hadn't seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? You've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!Well, I said, slightly nonplussed, the last time you saw me I'd just had a baby. What I felt like saying was, I've produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren't either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size? But no — my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!
