Product Description

Product Description

Mitzi Blessing is on the scrapheap at 55: a lifetime of organising the church flower rota and making cricket teas seems to loom gloomily ahead of her. However, with the discovery of her grandmother's old cookery book, her enforced early retirement starts to get very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read -couldn't put it down!, 18 Oct 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars a yummy treat.... but careful what you wish for! :-), 18 Jul 2004
By A Customer
Hubble Bubble is a yummy treat of a book that takes you to a warm hearted, quirky world where dreams and wishes can actually come true, and you're not past it and surplus to requirements just because you're a fifty plus woman.

Mitzi Blessing, forcibly retired, is in danger of believing it's all downhill from here on in... until she finds her Granny's old herbal cookbook in the attic and life takes a dramatic turn for the better.

Christina Jones's latest book is set in one of her trademark small, close-knit communities and full of the kind of endearing oddball characters we readers have all come to know and love and clamour for more of!

This is pacy feelgood stuff that really lifts the spirits, and the prose is lovely, lively, and uninhibited and just begs you to read on and on to find out what happens next. It's full of fun, but also interwoven with some wry and poignant observations on the very real fears of people who seem to have been deemed by society to be on the scrapheap, but who still have a lot to offer.

And on top of all this, there's romance too... and a couple of mouthwatering heroes who only add to the deliciousness of this very special book.

Get out and buy it and you'll feel much better about life! :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A fabulous read - for all ages!, 24 Nov 2004
By Mrs. A. J. Shingler (Stoke, Staffs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hubble Bubble (Be Careful What You Wish for) (Paperback)
Although I never expected to, I loved this book. I bought it to read on holiday but found I could not put it down at all and had finished it before actually arriving at the resort!

The characterisation is beautiful - believable and "real" - and the story is peppered with some very funny situations. I loved the chaotic Halloween party.

My only gripe is that Mitzi's life is a teeny bit TOO perfect - perfect and friendly ex-husband, perfect and friendly neighbours, etc. That said, as a light read for your holidays it's spot on - if you can save it till you get there!

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
