I wish I could remember who recommended this delightful
book to me. I would thank them
specially.
This is a non-fiction work. The author is not only perceptive but also
very frequently hilarious. It isn't an
autobiography but more a series of essays about topics such as parent's anxiety
about the safety of their children – often illogical but very real.
She also deals with a period in her life when she was
depressed.
It was interesting how she analysed the effect of
having been brought up very goal driven.
Wanting to get everything right.
Wanting to do things without wasting time.
I have taken years to get over a similar mind set. Looking at the state of my home, I think I
have over-succeeded!
This does sound like a delightful and affirming read.
