Such a different voice from her fiction, but still so good.

Not as humorous as life amongst the savages.

Very charming vignettes of Jackson’s home life with her husband and children. She is masterful at turning the mundane into the extraordinary, only this time it’s for humor, not horror, and this book is hilarious.

I've been doling little bits of this out to myself each night, savoring it. As expressed elsewhere, my joy on finding that it was finally in print again was sort of unparalleled. As a follow-up to Life Among the Savages, it doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor, but that is maybe because it wasn't such a joyful surprise as that one had been? (i.e. I knew what to expect this time around). And also, there were a few moments when her kids (exaggerated, I'm sure) made me a little bonkers. That said, it's lovely and funny and heartfelt and very contemporary and I wish that there was more.
