Displaying all the wit  warmth and vivacity of her celebrated heroine  she informs us that making lists \"unlike most pastimes...is cheap  harmless and independent of your age or income\"  or describes how  casting aside years of reluctance and seizing a small toasting-fork (there being no trowel available)  she discovered the delights of gardening... Part of the charm of this collection of essays and sketches lies in its portrait of a vanished world - that of the \"upper-middle-class  lower-middle-aged Englishwoman\" - but most important is the sheer zest of Jan Struthers generous and unconventional mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652099727413,"sku":"ByrdShop_1853812293","price":278.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781853812293.jpg?v=1781849106","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/try-anything-twice-virago-modern-classics-9781853812293","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
