Product Description
'Two things happened on 24th October to make it a date I'm never likely to forget. One was that my Mum started to become famous. And the other one was that I lost my boyfriend...' When Michelle Peacham's boyfriend disappears in the middle of a pub lunch, she's somewhat surprised. Robbie might not be the love of her life but she can generally to rely on him to stick around - especially when there's the promise of food in his immediate future. Bur Michelle has to face the fact that Robbie seems to have disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile Michelle's mum Penny has become an accidental celebrity. And all because she revealed on local radio that the secret of her long marriage is keeping her husband sweet with regular servings of his favourite dessert. Does the Peacham family recipe for Bread Pudding have special powers? Somehow Michelle doubts it, but as the weeks drift by with no sign of Robbie, Michelle can't help but think that she too could do with a magical recipe for love.

I'd never even heard of Sheila Norton before so wasn't sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. It was a really good read, written from both the daughter and the mother's viewpoints-and was effective and believable as both. I will definitely be looking out for some more by this writer.

Another great read from Sheila Norton. She writes great characters that she brings to life and with warmth and humour. I was only sorry when I came to the last page always the sign of a good book.

Or else it should come with a glossary. The story itself isn't awful, though it gets irritating after a bit with the first-person narrative switching back and forth between Michelle and her mother Penny. But I had no idea it would be filled with incomprehensible Brit slang (what on earth is a snog?). And one word that is constantly used, which seems to have 5 or 6 different meanings, is one we only use as a vulgar substitute for urinate. Not sure half the time what it means in this book. Even the bread pudding recipe at the end is puzzling -- peels? What sort of peels does anyone eat?? I was glad the book was free, because I would be upset if I had actually paid for it.
