REVIEW - Two Old Dears - not so doddery as they appear

Date read: 3rd May 2019

My rating: 4.5*

Genre I reckon: Farce

Buy link: Amazon  and Amazon UK





I bought this (signed copy) from a bloke in a car park. Think that sounds dodgy? Wait until you read what the two ladies get up to, lol.
So, the chap was the author, and the car park was outside the Bronte parsonage (where I was paying homage to my favourite author of all time).
Enough of that; more about this marvellous book...

So, who on earth would suspect two old dears of holding up a bank? Well, not many.
As the journalist interviews these two doddery women, he reveals a very shady past. Turns out they have had very lively...err...lives.

I don't want to give too much away, as it's too much fun discovering each story as it unfolds. But let's just say there's been intrigues...liaisons...shenanigans.

This truly is a delightful tale, which follows a sort of farce set up, and I mean that in the best possible sense.
Mostly set in wartime, these good time girls are a hoot!
The way in which it is told is rather fun too. These two splendid ladies reminisce about times gone by in a slightly unusual fashion.

Want to read a book where you feel you're living the life of the rich? Be inspired by empowered women? Or just have a bit of a laugh? Well, pick up this one.  It'll bring a smile to your face and warm the cockles of your heart.
(but maybe read the Kindle version; the paperback it quite sizeable to hold)

Witty and entertaining.
4.5*


Always in love and light,
TL
