I agree with Hallgerds review of this book. It is quite lighthearted for the most part, certainly different from most books. Didn't take as long to read as I thought it would usually takes me a long time to get through a book that has over thirty five chapters. I liked her husband,out of her way most of the time, but made appearances when really necessary. His attitude, towards his mother/women in general, was quite funny. Maybe it helps to be in a mild mood while reading the book !! Some readers may find the ending incomplete, but I thought it was a hoot.
Louise, you're probably most certainly right about being in a light mood while reading. Perhaps also due to taking a very long time reading it with breaks, I didn't catch the lightness and just felt depressed. I'm sure I took it too seriously!
