1. 4/5

   Tänkvärd bok.

   Jag älskar hennes böcker och romaner och har låst flera av hennes böcker. Hon lider nu liksom många andra av tidvis svår värk, som kan förklara varför denna bok kom till och som skiljer sig från hennes övriga produktion. För en person med olika besvär ger den både tröst och medkänsla och till det får man på köpet ta del av författarens humoristiska stil.
