This is a marvellous and marvellously enjoyable collection: clear-eyed, insightful, witty and often moving. Whether writing about the man who collects teapots or the couple with their Monet, whether visiting a geriatric ward or ‘passing on the tickle,’ Pat Borthwick’s writing manages to stay surprising and assured. This is by far her best work to date, so honest and alive, and still with that undercurrent of music that has always been her signature.
