About this book

A hilariously charming memoir of Shirley Jackson and her family's life in rural Vermont: children who won't behave, cars that won't start, furnaces that break down, a pugnacious corner bully, household help that never stays, and a patient, capable husband who remains lovingly oblivious to the many thousands of things mothers and wives accomplish every single day.
