The Great Husband Hunt Tekijä: Laurie Graham
The blurb promises us a funny heartwarming story about the main characters quest to find a husband.What we really get is the depressing tale of a womans life.
A light hearted look at a family who appear smug until everything changes. Ba lives with Bobs with plenty of money and they are happy until Bobs tells Ba his secret. Plenty of social commentary from a narrator, Ba, who cares greatly what everyone thinks. Not a deep book but fun and mostly light.
Another enjoyable read from Laurie Graham. One way or another The Kennedys hold a certain fascination for most of us. I wonder where all nine children would have ended up had their parents, Joe senior and Rose not been so scheming and manipulative. In my eyes, not a happy family and they certainly had more than their share of tragedy. Once again I enjoyed Laurie Graham's writing and she's included many events true to the history of the Kennedys.
Birdie Gibbs is a tough old bird, who lives on a salubrious Council Estate, battling various Chavs, slappers and assorted morons just to get through the day. Birdie has been through a world war, four husbands, lost a child, worked in factories and longs for the days when she was physically able to dance the nights away. This often funny, sometimes tragic, this first person tale describes Birdie's daily life, looking after the less able on the estate, taking care of her ex-husbands dogs and hoping for a better future. Light and fun read, with many witty observations about the state of society and the plight of the less well off.… (lisätietoja)
