![]() ![]() ![]() Jean Kerr lightly channels Shirley Jackson (the domestically-focussed SJ of Life Among the Savages versus the darker fictions, I hasten to add) and shines a cheerful and mildly sarcastic light on her own marriage and the goings-on of her four young sons. ![]() The only thing keeping it from a 10/10 rating is that it is too darned short we never really get to settle down into it it’s over and done with much too soon. I’ve had this book kicking around for years, as you can see from the sad state of its dust jacket pictured over there on the left (now covered with crinkly, shiny Brodart Just-a-Fold, one of my happier recent personal library improvement initiatives), and I re-read it with pleasure every so often. Please Don’t Eat the Daisies by Jean Kerr ~ 1957. ![]()
