Saving Missy

I've just finished this book and really enjoyed it. Would never have chosen it for myself so thanks for the recommendation gillybob

I am about half way through and enjoying it.

However, because I'd downloaded several books on to my Kindle when you recommended this one, gillybob, I got , easily done these days, and read The Wish List thinking, from the reviews, that it was that book.

After the other two I mentioned in my post above, this is the third one I've read about elderly women in a row.

Elderly females are becoming rather in vogue at the moment.

I've just finished reading this book. It's not the sort I would normally read but I found it all absorbing and very well written with both humour and sadness. There must be a lot of people like Missy and it was a really good insight into coping with living alone and the power of friends when you reach a certain age.

I am enjoying it, but not gripped (I am almost half way through). It is having the same sort of effect on me as 'A Man Called Ove'. The compelling feeling is creeping up on me. I think anyone liking Missy would also like Ove. Neither are my usual type of read.
Thanks for the recommendation.

I read this about a month ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Towards the end of the story there was an unexpected incident that I never expected, I was distraught! It was a pleasure to read about older people and their lives for once.

So glad you enjoyed it Dottygran I thought it would make an excellent (lighthearted) TV series . I can just picture Missy, can you ?

Oh Gilly! What a book! I loved it, really loved it. Thanks so much for the recommendation. I shall lurk closely on this forum from now on

I am enjoying it too!

Glad you’re enjoying it Dottygran . I didn’t want it to end

I've just started it.
Looking forward to reading a bit more soon.

Oh my goodness Gilly, am so enjoying this book. Only half way through as only read in bed, and I am reading it quite slowly as I am relishing it! Best quid I’ve spent in a long time. Makes me wish I had a dog!

I've just downloaded it, thanks gillybob.
Also some other free and 99p books

I've just started another one but will read Missy next.

The last one I read was by the author of The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village, Joanna Nell, called The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker.
I enjoyed that very much although it may not be everyone's choice.

I've just noticed The Wish List by Ruby Hummingbird when I went back to check and have downloaded that too.

All seem to be about old people!!

So glad you’re enjoying it Bathsheba

I'm reading this at the moment, and enjoying it so far. Good to see it recommended here! Thanks gilly

Thanks for the recommendation gilly.I’ve just downloaded it.x

I've just downloaded it too! Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks gilly I have made a note of it

merlotgran I am three quarters of the way through Path to the Sea, and I am really enjoying it

Oops Gillybob sorry I got your name wrong.

Me too thank you Jillybob.

Thanks, just downloaded it :-)

Ooooh thanks Gilly. Just downloaded this. It sounds a lovely read, I’ll let you all know how I get on

Thanks, gilly. I've added it to my kindle pile.

I've just started The Path to the Sea by Liz Fenwick so if it's another cold and wet day tomorrow I'll have a lazy reading day.

Do let me know what you think everyone . I wouldn’t normally recommend a book but just enjoyed this one so much I didn’t want it to end .

Thank you. I could do with something gentle and uplifting, I will download it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I read in the bath so prefer a real book, so ordered a second hand one. It sounds the type of story that will be passed around friends and family and well worth the money.
