I listened to the Neil Gaiman Presents version on Audible. I found the character Anita to be slightly annoying and a little ... stupid? Jaded? Naive? Irritating. However, it was interesting to see how she grew through the stories (and how she learned or didn't learn certain lessons). I really enjoyed the last story, and it was a great way to end the book. The narrator did a good job conveying different characters.

Anita by Keith Roberts is a solid 3.5 star book. I could not bear to give this book 3 stars. It is beautifully written and the stories have a certain sparkle. I despair only that its not a complete story but many small ones.

so, I very much enjoyed this collection + absolutely recommend it if you’re feeling any sort of anxiety or depression re: current apocalyptic style events & want a pure escape that while for adults still manages to retain a childlike sense of wonder! 5/5 stars from me!

This is a charming book. It isn't a novel, more a collection of interlinked short stories about the witch Anita. Anita lives with her Granny (who is a forerunner of Granny Weatherwax). The stories cover a wide range of themes, including pollution and urban development. But at the heart there is always sense of humor and beauty. It is impossible not to like Anita and her surrondings.

Vignettes of a cutesy, gullible, teen witch and her cranky grandmother with a dash of British dark humor. Each story is unique and some are better than others yet each delightful on their own.
