"'The writing is magic. I felt joy at every word.' John Carey '44 Things is a response to the life that goes on around me as I live and work with my family at home… Forty four pieces of different kinds of writing that have one thing in common – they are written by this woman, me, who lives at this time in her life fully and imaginatively sustained by what goes on in her domestic world.'
