On a journey through her own experience Olive Pellington takes you along a path of familiar emotion. Lipstick On My Coffee Cup is representative of all of life's pleasures and stumbling blocks. With each poem having it's own story to tell, this is a book for All. From the title poem - a no frills tale of working women - to 'The Teenager' - a heart wrenching family saga - readers will find themselves within words that describe their own history. The witty comments of 'Fat Day' - things we daren't let others hear but chuckle at within - is just one example from this collection, of the simple joys that life brings. This is truly a book that should find itself on every coffee table.
