Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Louise Rafkin takes us on an intimate tour of people's lives and reveals just how much she knows about a person based on what she finds in the house. She knows who's on a diet (Weight Watchers in the freezer), who's having marital problems (sheets on the sofa), and who' having sex (items on the nightstand). In Other People's Dirt, Rafkin dispenses her own kind of household hints with an altogether original point of view.
Review:
"'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
Review:"...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
