Genre - Humour

Ironside has also written childrens books and this particular book is one that you can relate to, particularly if you are retired. It is hard to describe, but you can certainly compare yourself with the main character Marie, who starts up with a huge hangover on New Year’s Day.

For the first time, Marie makes out a New Year’s Day resolution list and tries to make it stick. The story makes you laugh at her thoughts, ideals which are somewhat scary to that of what we all are but won’t admit, and a bit of brainstorming which does not go astray. A very funny book which often brings tears of laughter to the reader. It is at times crazy but with a bit of truth in Marie’s outlandish thoughts.
