TRUE CONFESSIONS
MY TURN TO MAKE THE TEA, by Monita Dickens; Michael Joseph. English price, 10/6. ONICA DICKENS continues her true confessions, this time as a junior Teporter for a small provincial newsPaper, Small-town journalism can be as amusing (from the outside) in England, as in places much further from Fleet Street; and Miss Dickens, who has a quick eye for detail, brings life to & dull routine and a rather drab little office. She is at her best, perhaps, when she describes her boarding house, her fearsome landlady and her fellow-board-ers. The novelist’s touch does not fail her in the treatment of people. It is hoped, however, that truth and fiction have been safely blended: the author
may otherwise be a little diffident about returning to places which have supplied her with so much useful material.
