This was a delight. Taken back into a different era, one I’d forgotten about and Mrs Pollifax remains popular for a reason. Can’t wait to start reading book 2. I don’t know if I’ll remember it…I think I read all her books the library stocked except this one.

With the reference to the war (WWII of course), I decided I must have the wrong publication date in my head. It was first published in 1966! Long before I read her books for the first time! I have to readjust my mental imagery as I visualize and verbalize this novel.

I read all the Mrs Pollifax books back in the 80s/90s when the library stocked them in mass paperbacks (those used to be my favourite size). But I don’t remember ever reading the first one. The ebook was on hold for months at the Toronto Library. Neat that this series is as popular as ever and to read her at an age close to hers in contrast to when I was young.
