Mavis and Dot- Angela Perch-

Mavis and Dot meet when they are both new at the Bridge club. It isn’t long before

they decide the rest of the members are “boring old farts” and set off in search of

a tea room. Mavis tells Dot that she is working her way through activities in

alphabetical order. Bridge was next as “agoraphobics” really wouldn’t be her thing

and so belly dancing is next on the list (Mavis is subject to using malapropisms) .

This is a wonderful, uplifting humorous read. The antics that Mavis and Dot get

up to. From dancing to disco, looking after others and rummaging in charity shops.

From fish and chips to afternoon teas and a love of lapsang souchong (bleugh!!)

to being an artists model and mistaking a woman for a man.  There are more serious

threads along the way. They have had their knocks in life and now it’s time for

them to let their hair down and help others where they can and also maybe have

a little fun in the process. There are some pencil sketches also included in the

book so we get an idea of how Mavis and Dot look. If you need a tonic and a

reason to smile then this could be the very book- it certainly did both for me.
