Product Description
When Mitzi Blessing is made redundant, she is determined not to settle into a routine of endless dreary coffee mornings followed by bad, made for TV movies in the afternoons. Mitzi decides she is ready for a change, but doesn't know where to start. Hunting for inspiration in the attic, she discovers her grandmother's old cookery book. Full of old-fashioned recipes with enchanting names, Mitzi can't resist giving them a try. After all, they seem harmless enough. But when a single serving of Wishes Come True Pie results in not one, but two men showing up at her door, Mitzi realises life is about to get very interesting indeed.

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

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!)

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.

Very funny!
This is a really funny book and you will find yourself giggling out loud in certain places: I certainly did. Refreshing that the main character is an 'older' lady too. Read more
