About this listen

You'll be wincing in recognition and scratching your head in incredulity, but like Marian herself you won't be able to stop laughing at the sheer delightful absurdity that is modern life - because each and every one of us is clearly making it up as we go along. She has wonderful and tickling words of advice for those fast approaching 50.

A great collection of amusing anecdotes that let 'pick' it up and put it down. Very well narrated and made me laugh out loud on many occasions

Perfect for walking the dog

… not just in fiction, but the way she draws you into her own life experiences. I have 3 books of hers to go, but the reviews on here are a bit mixed, and slanting towards "poor". What to do?

Marian is a funny lady ......
