Barreca, Regina.
Too Much of
a Good Thing is Wonderful. Storrs, CT: Bibliopola, 2000.
In
this wise and witty collection of essays, Regina Barreca brings alive
the moments in her life that, while unique to her, speak to each of
us. She shares stories about the fun loving Italian aunts who taught
her to dance, the young man she followed to London and the truths
she learned about herself during that youthful sojourn, the mysterious
scrap of a family letter she found, her mother's French Canadian roots,
and her own hysterectomy. These are stories that make us laugh out
loud, that teach us about family, and friends and love. Written with
honesty and humor, they offer a clear-eyed look at modern life.
