The Silver Ladies of Penny Lane- Dee Macdonald- Humourous fiction

Tess and Orla have been friends forever. Now in their sixties they together run

”Curvacious”  a boutique specialising in clothes for the larger lady which they make

and tailor themselves. Both are now single having lost one or more partners and Tess

thinks that they should get back into dating before they are too old and whilst they

can still enjoy themselves. This leads to signing up to a dating agency MMM.

Included in the price is a discount on a cruise- so what’s not to go for? This is the

story of their lives around the dating adventures and the cruise. Orla soon finds

someone nice and then another. Tess however goes through the mill of learning

that people are not always who they say they are and may have other intentions.

You have to smile! The ex husband’s rather bitchy new wife. Also thin- something

both Tess and Orla aspire to and have also joined the local slimming club to

attempt to rectify this. Tess’s daughter is getting married in a few months and she

is determined that she is not going to be upstaged by a thinner woman on the arm

of her ex. I loved this. A tale of life and its ups and downs. Life, love, adventures

and a bit of escapism with wonderful larger than life characters you would

love to meet.

An uplifting heartwarming read to make you smile (and the odd cringe at some

of the dates!). A perfect summer read.
