Review - I Hate That You Bloody Left Me - a delightful farce
Date read: 23 May 2017
My rating: 5*
Genre I reckon: Farce, humour
Buy Link: Amazon
Firstly, sorry I've been quiet on here. I've been busy writing and not had much time for reading. But I managed to find the time for this little gem. And I'm very glad I did.
I was intrigued by this book when I saw it advertised.
I can only describe it as a farce (in the nice, theatrical sense).
Three widows in their later years join a group on fb. Little did they know they were all connected by one photograph.
The characters are well developed, and Fleur in particular is wonderfully whacky.
There's a wonderful adventure of misadventures as they seek answers to help them with their bereavement through a psychic medium.
We are taken to Islay in Scotland to enjoy some beautiful scenery (and tasty whisky) as well.
A very sad topic given a wonderful sense of humour which I found refreshing.
There's whimsy and frolics galore.
Definite recommend to a friend.

A very pleasant read.
It is refreshing to have elderly
characters at the centre of a book. It felt a little like Miss Marple's
friends. An eclectic crowd of ladies that don't fail to entertain.
75 year old, curmudgeonly May becomes
a dead medium trying to contact a living medium, with humorous consequences.
There’s some very good twists
entwined in this tale, along with some great characters.
A very easy read, and a nice tale well
told.
God bless Mr Kibbles! Xx
