Mrs Funnybones Returns

Twinkle Khanna returns to the persona that made her name, reporting on family, work, in-laws and middle age with the same dry eye. The pieces are short and largely self-contained, moving from domestic chaos to sharper observations about what is expected of women at various stages of life. Menopause, ageing parents, children growing away and the small absurdities of a public life all get a turn, and the humour rarely arrives without a point attached. Inside the covers: • Short humorous essays that can be read out of order • Subjects include family life, work, ageing and social expectation • Comic voice balanced against genuinely reflective passages • Follows the earlier Mrs Funnybones without requiring it Suited to readers of humorous nonfiction and to book clubs after something lighter that is not empty. Stocked by Boipoka.
