Welcome to the wonderful and funny world of Sue Townsend. The famous writer talks about the difficult life of a modern city dweller: about difficult walks through the boundless expanses of the IKEA store; about a mortal battle with ominous slugs that have settled in the garden; about the torment that New Year's gifts bring; about the madhouse that a tourist trip to warmer climes can turn into; about the sin of fetishism, which you can fall into when you fall in love with ordinary household appliances. In short, Sue Townsend writes about all the little things that each of us encounters every day. Only in her presentation do minor events, minor joys and annoying troubles turn into the tragicomedy of our days. Sue Townsend wrote her book when she was almost blind (consequences of diabetes), but her public confessions are imbued with sunshine and bright colors, full of humor and utmost sincerity. The writer is not afraid to look funny and a little ridiculous, and therefore her stories exude real warmth. Some stories are hysterically funny, others are sad, but each is a small masterpiece by the best modern writer in Britain.
