In this fresh, funny, strikingly original memoir, Rafkin talks about her invisible status as a domestic worker in a world of illicit sex and secret lives, of closet alcoholics and binge eaters, unlikely spiritualists, and revealing celebrities.

"'Other People's Dirt' is mostly a good-humored glimpse inside the housecleaning trade, complete with experienced judgments about cleaning machines and products--one she would particularly like hasn't been invented : a Self-Cleaning Refrigerator--and glimpses inside the houses where she puts them to work."

Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post, 04/22/1998

"...a delight from cover to cover. Complex in tone yet forthright in the pleasures it offers, it unassumingly stakes a claim as an instant classic of the memoir genre."

Michael Upchurch, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 07/12/1998
