Description

Personal Pleasures is an anthology of 80 short essays (some of them very short) about the things she enjoyed most in life. Her subjects include: • Bed (Getting Into It) • Booksellers Catalogues • Christmas Morning • Driving a Car • Flattery • Heresies • Not Going to Parties • Shopping Abroad • Writing While each essay can be read on its own as a short dose of delicious writing, the collection is also an autobiographical selection, revealing glimpses of Rose’s own life, and making us laugh helplessly with her inimitable humour.
