Life on a Postcard by Rukshana Chenoy-Horwood, is funny right from the introduction and preface.
The experiences that Chenoy-Horwood describes are hilarious, unbelievable, ridiculous and heart-warming.
The story is told through the eyes of Charlotte Baxter, the protagonist and narrator who is surrounded by a diverse cast of interesting and larger than life characters.
From serious anecdotes of administering CPR on a turbulent flight to saggy boobs (actually they relate to the same story!) the tales on each postcard are captivating and make the book impossible to put down.
It's an hilarious combination of real-life scenarios, embellished with a huge side order of pure fiction. Chenoy-Baxter mixes humour and tragedy ensuring that fine balance of inciting tears of joy and of sadness almost at the same time.
Born in England, moved to India by her father when she was fourteen and subsequently returning to England again years later, Charlotte Baxter has had a life crammed full of adventure and comedy. Rukshana Chenoy-Horwood's book is wonderful and will have you crying with happiness at the most utterly ridiculous stories you have ever heard. It will also surprise you with a few unexpected twists. It should be read by everyone.
