Tish: (Mary Roberts Rinehart Classics Collection)

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. Enjoy the adventure of reading or listening to books 📚2021

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.

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.

i liked reading this but found it quite improbable in parts. But there was lots of fun times as well as the sad parts to keep me interested.

"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.

Once you get into the style, these stories are entertaining. I particularly enjoyed the last offering, which takes place in Glacier National Park, since I know the author had gone on a horseback trip to the Park in the era in which the vignette was written.

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.

You have to remember the ladies, Tish and company, are in their 50’s. It is conceivable for me to have made these journeys. But, admittedly it’s a stretch of the imagination. Honestly, an enjoyable, author’s prerogative type stretch. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Great writing keeps reader engaged beyond that stretch - imagination easily carrying reader over the gaps.

Tho' written nearly 100 years ago in a completely different era, I still chuckle every time I reread them!!
