This short and enjoyable book was a great way to pass a rainy afternoon.  Immediately, with her attempt to buy some luggage, I gained a clear picture of Maureen.  Comical disasters seem predestined for this woman who is neither highly likable nor unlikable, but is definitely a "character," one summed up cleverly by the author with one ironic scene where Maureen is reading a book about a "ridiculously over-the-top character...plagued by farce and disaster."If you have nothing better to do, you could do worse than to curl up on the sofa with a glass of your favorite wine and spend a couple of crazy hours with Maureen in the lovely city of Venice.
