Description

No matter what she tries to do, trouble has a way of finding Brenda. It s hardly surprising with secrets like hers. When her old adversary Mr Danby starts filling the airwaves with his late night phone in show it can only mean one thing and sure enough best friend Effie soon finds herself up to her neck in it. But that is only the beginning; fate has an even bigger surprise in store. Romance is in the air for Brenda and, do what she will, she cannot deny that she and her man were made for each other literally. But as usual, Brenda and Effie will face up to whatever dangers come their way with fortitude and grace: even if that means journeying to places beyond their wildest dreams.

Reviews

'Gloriously, zanily ludicrous ! unique, idiosyncratic and unclassifiable ! a cliffhanger that promises much in store. It can't come soon enough' -- Guardian 'The combined talents of Alan Bennett, Angela Carter and The League of Gentlemen' -- Independent on Sunday 'The concept is great ! Brenda is certainly a huge, larger-than-life character' -- Financial Times
