Downstairs the Queen Is Knitting follows Dorcas' two earlier and beloved collections, Upstairs the Peasants Are Revolting and Ordinary Days. The kids are a bit older now, and Dorcas and Paul's marriage is longer and deeper. But Dorcas sees with more disarming clarity than ever, and she writes piercingly about life on and off the greass farm as the kids move toward more independence. The details of Dorcas' life with her kids are funny and tender and exasperating enough, but it's her own confessions as a mother, her self obervation and guile free humor that draw you to her writing. |
