If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother de Julia Sweeney

If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother

Autor Julia Sweeney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 apr 2014
"Saturday Night Live" veteran Julia Sweeney s endearing series of true tales from parenthood s front lines ("O, The Oprah Magazine") is a funny, smart tour de force that reads like a conversation with your best friend.
In these candidly witty and poignant essays, comedienne and writer Julia Sweeney muses on the complex blessings of motherhood: deciding to adopt her daughter, a Chinese girl named Mulan ( After the movie? ); nannies (including the Chinese Pat); being adopted by a dog; and meeting Mr. Right through an email from a complete stranger who wrote, Desperately Seeking Sweeney-in-Law. She recounts how she explained the facts of life to nine-year-old Mulan, a story that became a wildly popular TED talk and YouTube video. But no matter what the topic, Julia always writes with elegant precision, pinning her jokes with razor-sharp observations while articulating feelings that we all share."

Recenzii

This is the sort of book that made me want to be the person who wrote it. Pithy, painful and very, very funny
[A] mix of comedy and emotion that makes up this warm and intimate memoir ... This is a funny, affectionate memoir about being an unconventional parent
Entertaining and honest, this is her heart-lifting account of adoption, motherhood and plain old everyday life
Emotional and hilarious, this book is one to keep
This book is adorable ... Takes you on an intimate journey that is very funny
This is a funny, affectionate memoir about being an unconventional parent. With Mulan about to become a teenager, you wouldn't bet against there being a sequel. Can't wait
What distinguishes this memoir is Sweeney's ability to draw the reader into her life, so much so that you want her to be your best friend forever
What a gift! If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother is an intimate and hilarious book that will leave you resenting your mother less, hugging your children tighter and glowing with gratitude that Julia Sweeney has put it all into words
Reading If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother gave me the delightful sensation of being Julia Sweeney's best friend. I curled up in bed with this book and we shared secrets, swapped parenting fiascos and boyfriend dramas, complained about our mothers, laughed a lot, cried a little, and just generally had an awesome time. Write another book soon, Ms. Sweeney! Legions of your friends are waiting!
What a delicious treat! Julia Sweeney is one of the truest, warmest, wittiest voices in the world today, and we're so lucky that she spent her precious alone-time (while her husband and daughter were away) writing a book that invites everyone into her heart and home
Any new creative offering from Julia Sweeney is a cause for celebration. She is a spectacular combination of insightful, hilarious and honest. So, yay! A new book from Julia Sweeney! Drinks are on me!
