An Almost Perfect Christmas, Hardcover/Nina Stibbe
Descriere
From the author of Love, Nina - a hilarious ode to the joys and insanities of the most wonderful time of the year Every family has its Christmas traditions and memories, and Nina Stibbe's is no exception. From her kitchen-phobic mother's annual obsession with roasting the perfect turkey (an elusive dream to this day) to the quest for a perfect teacher gift (memorable for all the wrong reasons); from the tragic Christmas tree ("is it meant to look like that?") to the acceptable formula for thank-you letters (must include Health Inquiry and Interesting Comment), Nina Stibbe captures all that is magical and maddening about the holidays. About the Author: Nina Stibbe was born in Leicester, England, and is the author of the highly acclaimed memoir Love, Nina, the novel Man at the Helm, which was shortlisted for the Lingerer Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction, and the novel Paradise Lodge. She now lives in Cornwall with her partner and their two children.
