Hettie's First Eleven - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The book consists of eleven short pieces of gentle comedy, plus a preface. These pieces originated as articles for a now defunct magazine. In them, Hettie Newbolt, wife of Bath, gives the interviewer her take on the things that happen to her and all of us - ageing, putting on weight, coping with Christmas, needing glasses, the perils of visits from relatives, how to market bidets - that sort of thing. This is a book to be sipped. One Hettie piece a day after lunch should ensure eleven afternoons happily spent with a faint smile constantly hovering below the conscious drivel of everyday.
