Product Description
'Hubble bubble, toil and trouble, Casserole burn and intrigues double 'Mitzi Blessing is on the scrapheap: forced into a very early retirement, a lifetime of organising the church flower rota and making cricket teas seems to loom gloomily ahead of her. With her two daughters seemingly happily settled, Mitzi is determined not to dwindle quietly into serene old age and sets about organising and revitalising Hazy Hassocks, the small rural community she has lived in all her life. However, with the discovery of her grandmother's cookery book in the attic,life for Mitzi and her friends and family starts to get very interesting. Full of old-fashioned recipes with enchanting names like Wishes Come True Pie, Mischief Night Cake, and Powers of Persuasion Pudding - Granny's dishes provide a nourishing meal, but they also seem to have some very surprising side effects indeed.

hit the spot once again,
By
This review is from: Hubble Bubble (Be Careful What You Wish for) (Paperback)
Once again Christena Jones has hit the spot.I love all her books, this one is about an older lady than normal, but with just as many funny, mad characters as in all of her other books. With a bit of baking to cause a lot of laughs. Just like all her other books she has made my laugh out aloud. Keep up the good work Christena

Hazy Hassocks - a great place to visit!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hubble Bubble (Be Careful What You Wish for) (Paperback)
But I'm not sure I'd want to eat all my meals there! What a treat. A lighthearted, joyful (even in the sad parts) tale about a woman over 50! Oh, there's plenty for those of you 20-somethings, but it's a book that I can relate to as well. Christina has perfected the art of the endearing, sassy village tale - but she's really taken us further than she has before, with a touch of practical magic and advanced cookery. The story takes off just as Mitzi loses her job - the only job she's known. Her husband (the hapless Lance) cheated on her 10 years prior with a younger version of herself and she hasn't managed to get back on the man-track quite yet. What with two needy felines, even needier neighbors, and even more needy daughters, how could she? In the midst of it all, there are lessons about living life all the way through (and one of the best parts about the book is telling how a settled, stable, reliable relationship can bring wonderful satisfaction). It's a fun book, you'll love reading it. (Love that Lance!)

Great read -couldn't put it down!,
This review is from: Hubble Bubble (Be Careful What You Wish for) (Paperback)
My husband bought this for me on Saturday (he never buys me books!) and I have to say that I didnt really think it was me -too chic-lit. However, after waking up this morning with a horrendous head cold & sinusitus, showing my face at work before returning home & sleeping until lunchtime, I picked up the book & couldn't put it down. It made me smile, made me sad -you know that tight feeling in your throat?- and all in all was a fab girlie read.The characters were great. At first I thought the main character Mitzi was too old for me -but hey -I was proved wrong -what great personalities.Her daughters, neighbours, old school friends -they were all there to love and to hate! Finished it tonight at 9.30pm and feel much beter -who needs GP's -let's prescribe Christina Jones!!! Looking forward to reading her other books.
