Fi's Ability

by Fiona Ritchie

Fi’s Ability – a memoir’ is a charming stroll through a daughter’s early years, and more recently, her experience spending lockdown with her blind, slightly deaf, cynical and wobbly nonagenarian mother. ‘On my Mother’s Life’ is a cry for help, well… that’s how social services interpreted it. Throughout lockdown, many people spent more time with their family than they were comfortable with; the letters convey just how a mother and daughter muddled along. Gin features heavily to deal with the daily frustrations. Following this, ‘Adventures of a Ginger Girl’ is a charming peep at a childhood in Cornwall, through the eyes of a permanently red girl with strong opinions and extremely big knickers.

This is a memoir about Fiona Ritchie.
Straight from the start I'm already engaged, Fiona is writing a diary based on her own experience on how she coped with covid and her mother.
This was so refreshing to read her not take life so seriously and her banter was just brilliantly written. I couldn't stop laughing and her sarcasm towards her mother was hilarious. I am definitely trying her recipes, I love an apple turnover it sounds so easy to make, we shall see! If the last two years have been tough then this is a light and funny book to get into..
