Why read it?
1 author picked Between the Stops as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another memoir by another funny and talented writer. Subtitled “Between the Stops: The View of My Life from the Top of the Number 12 Bus,” this anecdote-rich, leisurely view of her life shows why Toksvig is a British National Treasure.
As in all memoirs, there is pain as well as pleasure, but Toksvig’s insights throw light into even the darkest of corners. And her observations of London, as it happens all around her from her front-row seat at the top of the bus, bring my city richly to life.
