Constance, an English housewife that lives a pretty comfortable life, has started a blog. While she is not very familiar with how blogs or how Facebook works, she gamely shares her life (which centers around her church and family) with the world. She is preoccupied with the bell ringing championships coming up, finding her single son a suitable mate, wrangling work out of her live-in house helper, and trying to decipher her university bound daughter's behavior.
I enjoyed this book. For me, it was similar to Bridget Jones Diary (which I throughly enjoyed), only it would be written from Bridget's mom's perspective. Constance's frequent (and unwanted) advice to her daughter reminded me of Pam Jones calling up Bridget in August to ask her what she wanted for Christmas. Constance is a good woman whose life view is limited due to her circumstances. Take those circumstances away, and see what happens. Constance is oblivious to many things around her. I found myself talking to the book - saying things like "Duh! Don't you know such and such is happening?"
Read this is you like women's fiction and want a few good laughs. Request it here.
