I picked up this book by Betty MacDonald's sister. Mary, judging by what Betty had to say about her, was a force of nature. She was not as funny a writer as Betty, I don't think. Dated, cute, engaging but not hilarious.
Mary Bard is, of course, the older sister of beloved humorist Betty MacDonald, whose
The Egg and I
was a three-year sensation on the best-seller lists at the end of the nineteen-forties. Apparently spurred by a gentle sisterly competitiveness and a sense that "Anybody Can Do Anything"—the title of MacDonald's third memoir, which focused mainly upon Bard's resourcefulness in the face of the Great Depression—Bard wrote a children's series and trio of humorous memoirs of her own.

Ak máte radi zmysel pre humor Betty MacDonaldovej, tak si prídete na svoje aj u Mary Bardovej. Život s lekárom nie je veru taký ideálny, ako si to mladá pani doktorová predstavovala. Kniha sa mi čítala príjemne, každý kapitola sa začínala citátom z lekárskej encyklopédie, ktorý vysvetľuje nejaký zdravotný neduh, a od toho sa odvíja dej. Nejde však o príslušnú chorobu, ale skôr o rozmanité životné osudy ľudí.

By Mary Bard, sister of Betty MacDonald. I don't think she wrote as well as Betty, but she sure seems an interesting person, and there are some meat and potatoes to her books.

I love Betty's work but this is one of my favorites from Mary Bard. I find the dry wit fascinating, especially considering the Generational differences.. intriguing to me to read memoirs from the 30's, 40's, & 50's.
Found this on my way back from the dentist at lunch time for $1...
