This is the first book by Maureen Lipman that I have read, despite admiring her theatre and television work for many years.
I was not disappointed. From the very first page she had me laughing out loud. I wish I had had company so that I could have shared her brilliant humour and wit.
The 'Starter' section awoke so very many echoes of my own habits (good and bad) and idiosyncrasies that I might have been reading about myself - an immediate encouragement to proceed with all haste!!!
11/04/07 - I have not yet finished the book (got side-lined by other interesting reads).
