My Turn To Make The Tea by Monica Dickens
4.0
Dickens' (yes she is related to THAT Dickens) micro-memoir of being a small town junior reporter.
She's a good writer, makes the common-place dramatic without making it silly. This would make a watchable movie too. This is one of those memoirs of a more-or-less ordinary (though talented and bright) person. Some of her snark I could do without and the sexism of her colleagues enraged me.
Overall this is a book about happiness in life and friendships, about struggles but not without options.
