Author:
Sandra Tsing Loh
Publisher:
W. W. Norton Company
Date:
June 2, 2020
Loh navigates a mouse sighting in her kitchen, the temptations of online goddess webinars, and an attempt to refresh her home (without getting sidetracked by the mysterious variety of light bulbs). Whether helping younger family members with their college essays (or trying to write them without laughing) or dodging algorithms that recognize her as a middle-aged lady with a VISA card, Sandra confronts her First World guilt on a much restricted budget.
What The Reviewers Say
Loh’s tone is breezy and self-deprecating—it’s like having a glass of wine or a long phone call with your witty, goofy friend. Because the narrative is loosely structured, you can read straight through or just dip into an essay when the mood strikes.
... zingy anecdotal entries.
... let-it-all-hang-out essays.
... lighthearted.
