A Smoker's and Dog's Guide to the Gal-Alexy (Bess Macpherson)

This book is not a novel, but an exquisite insight into the mind of Bess: a middle aged woman going through her second divorce.
A compilation of her random thoughts gives her take on the everyday and the not-so everyday and follows her journey "from insanity to sanity and back again".
Funny, sad, intelligent and a little bit wacky, this book is an essential read for all women and has an uncanny ability to reach out and touch you whatever page you open it and whichever mood you happen to be in.

A real coffee table must-have.
