"The best thing about the Depression was the way it reunited our family and gave my sister Mary a real opportunity to prove that anybody can do anything, especially Betty."

After surviving both the failed chicken farm - and marriage - immortalized in The Egg and I, Betty MacDonald returns to live with her mother and desperately searches to find a job to support her two young daughters. With the help of her older sister Mary, Anybody Can Do Anything recounts her failed, and often hilarious, attempts to find work during the Great Depression.

I was recommended The Egg & I by author/TV producer Lissa Evans at the Primadonna Festival in Suffolk - the whole audience, not just me - and it was so good I had to read this as well. And in the hands of a narrator of the calibre of Heather Henderson*, it didn't disappoint. The range of accents and comic timing shows that she has put a lot of thought into the text (some audio books sound like they've been recorded at first sight - not this one). I'll certainly be reading the other two memoirs. Not so sure about Piggly Wiggly, though.
* I bought 'I'm Glad My Mom Died' after this and had to return it, because I was hoping for an HH performance.

An outstanding insight into the 1930s

Read these books years ago and now on audible. the narrator captures the story well. you have to remember the era it was written in as some racism etc and descriptions are unacceptable today. The heart of the books do shine through on a particular period of history. I have enjoyed the others in the series with the aforementioned caveats

excellent story, fun and superb narrator
