description: 'When I was about thirty, I noticed something odd. When not smiling, my face took on a collapsed and tragic look. If it didn't actually swash, it buckled. The camera started to suggest I was sad and haggard whereas I knew very well I was relaxed and serene -- well, as relaxed and serene as one can ever be in the late twentieth century...' For five years Sue Limb's column was the most popular regular feature in Good Housekeeping, dispensing her own skewed views on marriage to a Dutch composer and life with incomprehensible in-laws, coming to terms with the word processor and getting to grips with motherhood with an irrepressible joie de vivre and an extravagant taste in puns. Out on a Limb collects all the best pieces together and will be a delight to her legions of fans.
