Bring Your Baggage and Don't Pack Light: Essays by Helen Ellis

3.0

A funny collection of essays about a Southern lady's mid-life adventures with her lady-gang. Touches on some heavier topics like domestic abuse, cancer, menopause and the loss of a parent. I really enjoyed the essay featuring Theresa Pasuto (the Long Island medium) and the one about menopause - who knew irregular periods could be so funny! Recommended for fans of Nora Ephron, Diane Keaton and other memoirs told in a series of funny stories. Thanks to Libro.fm for my ALC.
