I usually go to the public library website to see if they have a book before I get one here. I did that for this book and I recommend it. If you're an aunt you'll probably see yourself here. The chapters are
A Short History of the Aunt
Mothering Aunts
Heroic Aunts
X Rate Aunts - a chapter I could have done without
Brand Name Aunts
Exotice and Eccenric Aunts
Damned Bad Aunts
Literary Aunts
Fairy-Tale Aunts
Honoroary Aunts
The Good Aunt Guide
Epilogue Aunt Janet
This is light reading and the author is male and has a rather sharp tone at times but the beautiful chapter on his own Aunt in the Epilogue may have been is reason for writing the whole book. I'm a mother Aunt and appreciated this little look into Aunthood.
