“The subject didn’t matter. The words did.”
The Book Fairies have been sharing copies of It Was an Ugly Couch Anyway by Elizabeth Passarella all around the states this weekend!
About the book:
A collection of refreshingly honest and hilarious essays from Southern Living columnist Elizabeth Passarella about navigating change – whether emotional or logistical – and staying sane during life’s unexpected twists and turns. After Elizabeth Passarella and her husband finally decided that it was time to sell their two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, she found herself wondering, Is there a proper technique for skinning a couch?
We’ve all had to make decisions in our lives about what to keep and what to toss – habits, attitudes, friends, even homes. In this new collection of essays, Elizabeth explores the ups and downs of moving forward – both emotionally and logistically – with her welcome candor and sense of humor that readers have come to love. She enters into a remarkable (and strange) relationship with an elderly neighbor whose apartment she hopes to buy, examines her own stubborn stances on motherhood and therapy, and tries to come to terms with a family health crisis that brings more questions than answers.
