Pam Ayres is great. Review done.
Nah, in all seriousness, Pam Ayres is always a barrel of laughs, even when she’s taking on tough topics. She has the ability to write about tough subjects with a wry humour that stops her work from becoming too bleak, unlike someone like Charles Bukowski. Both are great. Both are very different.
In this collection, we have a combination of her poetry and her monologues, with the two of them working tightly together to deliver a more cohesive whole. The result is the feeling that you’ve just gone to see her deliver a performance.
