The Professional Aunt

This was such a sweet book! It is the story of a youngish woman and her experiences with her sisters-in-law and their children. She helps out with the nieces and nephews, giving them presents, helping with their parties, coming when they are ill, and doing everything that her sisters-in-law consider that aunts should do, hence the “professional” title. She has a very forgiving attitude and a great sense of humor. There are numbers of quiet happenings along the way. Since there is no real plot, just a series of events, I would term this more of a gentle book than an exciting one–just the sort to curl up with in a rocking chair on a cold winter day, with a large cup of hot tea. It is fairly short and the ending is fabulous.
I definitely recommend this. It's written in an unusual style, and there are a few places where the author jumps too quickly from scene to scene, but it leaves me with enough of a warm fuzzy feeling that I quite forgive her. If you read the Gutenburg edition, there are a number of typos, but I was able to figure them out. I will be looking for a hard copy of this!
