4.0 out of 5 stars Onions in the Stew- Not as good as Egg, 20 Feb 2003
By Nicholas Gray (Mansfield,, Notts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The Egg and I was fantastic, as were The Plague and I and Anybody can do anything. Onions in the Stew, while very good, did not cause the excrutiating mirth that the three previous ones did. It does present more of a settled view of the author's life prior to her untimely death, and shows someone more at peace with herself. As such, it provides a fitting end to the quartet of books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A humorous look at every day life, 15 Aug 2001
By jeklar@aol.com Pete (Dorset, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Onions in the Stew (Paperback)
I have just read this book yet again, and still it makes me laugh. I can see bits of myself and my family in it, but she had the knack of seeing the humour in everyday life, and she can communicate it to the reader. My wife hates me reading these books because I collapse in laughter every so often.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming book about family life on Vashon Island in the 50s, 5 May 2001
By jan.jan@lineone.net (Wood Green London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Onions in the Stew (Paperback)
I have just re-read this book for the sixth time. Just like all Betty MacDonald's other books it is full of humour and somehow comforting to read. Of all her books this is my favourite just because the Island life she describes is so intriguing. She makes you want to go and live in a beach house on the edge of the ocean, eating clams and searching for firewood on the beach. Also her writing about her teenage girls is perfect and would strike a chord with any parent going through this difficult stage. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's a good buy - once you have it you'll want to read it again and again. Thank you whoever you are for re-issuing these books. I wish someone would write a biography of this once very popular writer.
