Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A hugely entertaining and touching exploration of aunts in all their guises and varieties, culled from real-life, literary and historical sources.

Publisher's description:

An aunt is not someone to be rationalised or theorised. A nice aunt is an object of easy affection, at an emotional remove from the fierce, complex, passionate and difficult love that encumbers parenthood. This book explores aunts in various guises and varieties, culled from real-life, literary and historical sources.
