Thanks to this being picked as a ‘Between The Covers Series 5’ read it ended up in my to be read pile with no real expectations of what it would be like.
It is from the booker list the show promotes, so often it’s something that is years old, and you may have missed it first time around, which was indeed the case with this book for me.
My verdict: This is a quirky and amusing snapshot of life and yes, it would make me pick up other books by Penelope Lively who I confess I have never read before.
Happy to recommend.
