Personal Pleasures is an anthology of 80 short essays (some of them very short) about the things she enjoyed most in life. Her subjects include:. Bed (Getting Into It). Booksellers Catalogues. Christmas Morning. Driving a Car. Flattery. Heresies. Not Going to Parties. Shopping Abroad. WritingWhile each essay can be read on its own as a short dose of delicious writing, the collection is also an autobiographical selection, revealing glimpses of Rose's own life, and making us laugh helplessly with her inimitable humour. | Personal Pleasures by Rose Macaulay, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
