| Summary |
Ros Thomas is a familiar face in Australia, having worked as a journalist for 25 years, 17 of them in television. Ros writes a weekly op-ed column in West Weekend magazine, with a readership of 850,000. Her column is about accessible everyday topics of memory, family, working mums, nostalgia, and humor. Whether writing about her foiled attempt to seduce her husband, her encounter with the homesick Irishman she found on the beach, or why dog-people and cat-people can never be friends, Ros does so with the kind of humor and clarity that keeps her readers coming back week after week.
