Welcome to the world of Mary Brown...the comic creation of best-selling novelist, Bernice Bloom OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD! A chance meeting with an old school friend sends Mary Brown off on three fabulous adventures. First, it’s to a safari in South Africa. She arrives dressed like Meryl Streep in Out of Africa and ends the trip up stuck in a tree wearing nothing but her knickers. Next, she’s off on a cruise: It's the trip of a lifetime, featuring eat-all-you-can buffets and a trek through Europe with a 96-year-old widower called Frank and a friendship with a flamboyant Spanish dancer called Juan Pedro. There are a few issues to be dodged – like the ex-boyfriend who’s on the boat. Happily, there’s a handsome captain to distract her and some wonderful countries to enjoy. Her final trip is to find inner peace on a yoga weekend. Mary’s never done yoga before, but how hard can it be? A bit of chanting, some toe touching and a new leotard. Easy! She heads for the countryside to get in touch with her chi and her third eye. And that's when it all goes wrong. "This is one memorable book with so many relatable and realistic characters." "Mary Brown is just wonderful, and I challenge you to read this and not be amused by the book. I am so looking forward to reading anything else that Bernice Bloom writes." "Bernice has a wonderful way with words and incorporates much into a few pages that makes you think about maybe your own issues or of those you see around you. A wonderful pick you up, feel good read." "I had to stifle giggles on more than one occasion." "It is the first book in a long time that had me laugh out loud!"
