London-based Irish author and mum-of-two Emma Murray admits it’s a major juggling act right now, keeping all the balls in the air.

Married to Sam – a financial services worker in Canary Wharf but now remote-working from the garden office, hastily built when Covid struck – Emma, 44, says: “There are far too many balls and we’re dropping some – between home-schooling, meals, the domestic stuff and trying to squeeze work in.”
