Maggiori informazioni sul libro
If Jane Austen and Jack Benny collborated on a book together this is what they would`ve come up with.` - Nigella Lawson Bright, funny and utterly compelling, Rebecca Tyrrel`s voice is both refreshingly honest and deliciously self-deprecating. Taken from her popular column in The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, this series of previously published pieces interlinked with small introductions to give the book a narrative structure is at once funny, acerbic and infuriating. Filled with a cast of characters and themes such as the author`s husband Matthew Norman`s medical neuroses; her son Louis`s obsession with trains; her own imaginary shrink, George Sanders, who lives in the garden shed; Tim, the car dealer; and the `we have no friends` syndrome, this is a novel that will make readers laugh out loud with a sense of self-recognition. Fans of the column will love to revisit, and new readers will delight in it. The perfect present for those who need to be introduced to daily life in a neurotic West London household.
