Mrs Caldicot's Turkish Delight

De: Vernon Coleman

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Mr David Livingstone, one of Mrs Caldicot's friends from The Twilight Years Rest Home, has unexpectedly inherited a seaside pleasure pier which has a theatre at one end and a hotel at the other. `Is it near the sea?' asks Miss Nightingale. For reasons which become clear, Mrs Caldicot and the others have to move into the hotel on the pier. The local council wants to turn the pier into a dull conference centre. The inevitable excitement, adventure, chaos and joy all follow quite naturally. All the usual characters are here and there are a few new ones too. `Mrs Caldicot's Turkish Delight' is another extraordinary tale of extraordinary older folk.

The Best!!!

This book (and the entire series) fills one with “warm fuzzies” in a world full of “cold pricklies!”

The story is so warm and funny and, most importantly, a lot of fun.

Dr. Coleman’s characters are so delightful and uplifting. He is a wonderful advocate for persons in the 65+ age group.

It’s too bad they don’t make more movies from these books.

An important theme in this book is the over-prescribing, and/or inept, without thought or awareness, prescribing of multiple medicines which are contraindicative. My mother-in-law was given medicine to help her gain weight after cancer. The side effect turned her into a Garbo or Dietrich when they were tired. She was so tired that she practically became part of the couch. When we finally discovered which medicine made her this way and stopped it, she was exactly like the characters in this book, she became a spring chicken again.

I’m SO thankful for Dr. Coleman’s fight for awareness of this problem, because I, myself, was wondering why I was going bald, feeling weak and shaky and seeing spots etc.! Geez Louise!!!!

I’m definitely now READING all the side effects of drugs!!!

Horrible narration.

Virtual voice ruins this story. What a shame. It is a travesty. Accents on the wrong words and ignores even commonly known phrasing. Awful
