Description
When her husband is stationed in Egypt and her children are at boarding school, Hester Christie finds herself at loose ends. Her friend Grace takes her at her word and finds her a job with the formidable Erica Clutterbuck, who has opened a new hotel in the Scottish Borders.
As Hester settles into her new role, she becomes embroiled in a series of problems and situations with hotel guests and old friends alike. From serving as a fortune teller at the local fête to aiding and abetting romantic schemes, Hester's exploits continue in this charming and witty novel.
First published in 1947, Mrs. Tim Gets a Job is a sequel to Mrs. Tim Carries On and brings Hester into the immediate post-war years. This edition includes a new introduction by Alexander McCall Smith.
