Went to London, Took the Dog: The Diary of a 60-Year-Old Runaway by Nina Stibbe |
Having enjoyed 'Love Nina', her first book, I was looking forward to this diary account of a year in the life of Stibbe, but I was disappointed. Returning to London after 20 years from her home in Cornwall, she rents a room in the home of fellow writer Deborah Moggach. Now divorced and her children both students in London, Nina needs a change of scene to write. The resulting diary (though often funny) felt contrived and just didn't work for me.
