She comes across as uncomplicated, endearingly quirky and also warm and friendly. And we get an initial peep into the important mother/daughter (Janzen is the daughter) relationship. She tells it straight, whether it's good news - or not. The fact that the book's written in the first person is a plus point as it draws the reader in to the story. And straight away I'm loving the author's breezy, honest style. Janzen's opener is terrific - The year I turned forty-three was the year I realised I should have never taken my Mennonite genes for granted. But how would it go down across the pond? Time to find out. And emblazoned across the front cover is No 1 In The US.
