Life on Toast #180



Helen Elaine Lee grew up in Detroit, was educated at Harvard & Harvard Law, and now teaches at MIT.
I bought this book when it first came out and have read it and loaned it out to friends so many times that the cover is falling off and the pages are soft as tissues. It always makes me laugh and is one of the rare books that also makes me cry. Lee’s wordsmithing holds a magic that lingers. There are descriptions I still think of, taste on my tongue, hold dear to my heart. Thank you for this book.
