Tish by Mary Roberts Rinehart, Fiction Paperback – March 1, 2004

Tish and her friends, Lizzie and Aggie, get into some very strange and funny situations. Their nature trips, whether to Maine or to the Rockies, would put even modern day adventurers in danger but yet they survive relatively unscathed. Poor Aggie lost her dentures in the Rockies! I can see them going flying off the cliffs!Great way to relax !

Five very will written romantic thriller adventure short stories novella relationships by Marry Roberts Rinehart with lots of interesting will developed characters. The story lines are entertaining all starting in New York City before WW1 where three women have adventures. I would recommend this novella to readers looking to be entertaining by a different time.

While I enjoy the mystery novels of Mary Roberts Rinehart and also some of her more traditional stories, I got bored with Tish after about the second or third story. She doesn't wear well and becomes more irritating than amusing.

I have loved the Tish stories since I was a kid and this collection even included a couple I hadn't managed to find before. So glad they are available now on kindle but I know there are more Tish stories than are collected here--what happened to the story where she and the old girls and Charlie Sands go to France in the midst of WWI??? These are laugh out loud stories with some real lessons for the modern audience--such as, that there WAS life before cell phones and the rest of modern trappings and that with enough determination--and money--women could have lives of their own even before the age of the flapper and suffrage. These stories may be historical artifacts, in at least one way--after all, they were written nearly a hundred years ago! but they also live. For those who like the tales of Patrick McManus, you really don't want to miss Tish.

Thoroughly enjoyable! Tish a little too self-centered at the detriment to her friends, but they don't hold it against her. They seem to thrive on the many adventures she get them involved in. Want to read more about their exploits.

Very funny book. The humour reminds me of that of EF Benson (Mapp & Lucia) or PG Wodehouse (Wooster & Jeeves), but with a decidedly more American twist. I like that it has female protagonists "of a certain age" who find themselves getting into all sorts of misadventures.

I suggest that you read them over a week or two rather than all at once even though they are not long. They are great light reading, even fun, but the silliness factor can be a bit much in a concentrated dose!

"Tish" is a story of three liberated ladies "of a certain age" who find themselves in a series of unlikely adventures. The tales of these adventures are laugh-out-loud funny, while providing an interesting insight into the how people carried on their lives in the early 1900s. These ladies were way ahead of their time!My grandmother had the complete works of Mary Roberts Reinhart, most of which I read during summer visits in my teens. Memories of this favorite author prompted me to try "Tish," one of the few I knew I hadn't read, when I found the book on Amazon. I wasn't disappointed! Even 50 years later, this author is superb.
