Reviews

[Catherine · Rating 2 out of 5]

I used to enjoy reading her column but this collection of her columns from the 1970s, published in 1979, was too dated to really be enjoyable any more. She wrote primarily about current events which are no longer timely & on those subjects which are sadly still actually of issue, her take on them is often dated. Too bad - I wanted to enjoy this

I really miss her newspaper columns since she retired.

[Gail · Rating 5 out of 5]

A collection of her essays first printed in the newspaper. I think even though the book was written in 1986 it would be interesting to revist.
