THE OCCASIONALLY AMUSING COMMENTS ARE NOT WORTH THE INSULTING ATTITUDE THAT PERSISTS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE BOOK.The author can't be pleased: She gets hired to clean a filthy house, she complains. She gets hired to clean a pristine house, she complains. Meanwhile, she NAMES her clients and their locales when describing their shortcomings, and talks openly about her brother's drug-dealing history. She spends WAY too much time divulging other people's private information. She also believes that housekeepers' employers should bring them into the home as guests for social gatherings, an absurd presumption (who invites their mechanic, their doctor, or their plumber to their home?). No wonder she got fired from jobs after divulging clients' names and eccentricities in local newspaper columns.
