When I choose a book I always read the blurb on the back to see if it's likely to appeal to me. Just occasionally I read the book and wonder if I'm reading the same one as the writer of the blurb. This was one of those occasions and in this case the book was better than the blurb had led me to suspect. I was promised a story of Cora's mother muscling in on the new baby, complete with a string of cinema first-night fantasies.

|comment=''' I read ''Postcards From The Edge'', also by Carrie Fisher and made into that wonderful movie with Meryl Streep and Shirlie Maclane which was so funny, poignant and moving that I ventured in search of her further works. I believe Ms. Fisher to be a talented writer with a depth of humanity that one only develops by experiential learning and if you look at her life as outlined in "Postcards" you'll understand just how human she really had to be. I thought Delusions of Grandma was a wonderful book and your review definitely does it justice although I disagree that it is only a one time read... please look out for my favourite of her tomes, ''Surrender The Pink''.}}
