A trilogy of sorts, starting in Vienna, where the writer displays clear knowledge of the place, the language and the culture through both her reminiscence and current view. Moving to part two, exploring our midlife conflicts with our wardrobes, relationships and choices. Finally moving onto a stark take on the life of a performer, constantly ‘on the road’, loving the limelight, but contemplating that the fine line between adulation and isolation is a helluva price to pay for doing what you love.

Maureen Younger lets you into her 'failed love life' . Obviously a talented person.. speaks many languages fluently and is a very funny lady .. I look forward to her full size book.. She is also a standup comedian - I suggest, if she comes to your local comedy club you shoud buy a ticket.. she's hillarious.

Thoroughly enjoyed this collection of short stories. Very well told and with experiences I think we can all relate to. Maureen is a stand up comedian so it is no surprise that her humour shines through her stories.

Lovely book and a great insight into a woman’s world that I would otherwise find difficult to know. Plenty of laughs and valuable life lessons along the way - good things certainly do come in small packages. Well worth the read, highly recommended!
