The Magic Vodka Wardrobe: Book 3 Kindle Edition
Yes, we are back in the crazy world of Sheila Patel. And all is good. Well, nearly.
The usual suspects are up to their usual reprehensible tricks. Flying chuppels and flip-flops make way for happy times at the Leeds Road police station. Letters to James Bond segue seamlessly into cricket, Shaz’s birthday celebrations, Diwali fireworks, bobble hats and ghee. further generous helpings of Indian diaspora insanity, in other words, and … oh, did I mention a wedding? I’m sure there was one in there somewhere.
I have now consumed (in large glasses, and with no ice) all three ‘Vodka’ offerings, and there is as yet no sign of the author’s invention flagging. These are truly ‘feel good’ books for the comatose generation.
Grab one – any one – and dive in.
Recommended for a hangover (giving you one, that is, not curing it). Warning: Contains nuts, and the occasional goat.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseOnce again Author Sheila Patel takes us on the fun-filled, whirlwind of lives in the Magic Wardrobe disco lane with our now beloved characters Shaz, Trace, Sheila, and the ever patient Bachittar. We travel with the ladies month by month as they experience heat waves, a trip to the palace that I'm sure the Queen will not forget, love, fatbergs, the holidays, and the never ending hangovers.
The laughs are plentiful in this entertaining tale, spiced up with the antics of friends and family members that will keep you grinning to the end. I adore my time in the Magic Wardrobe--a great read that leaves you wanting more! CAUTION: you may have a sudden urge for a voddy when reading, #JustSayin.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2019Format: KindleWhat a whirlwind of fun! Patel’s characters Shaz, Trace and Sheila face the heat, get invited to various parties and brave the dreaded holiday season. All the while they are drinking and meeting at their favorite place to give Bachittar a hard time. Such a quick and entertaining read.
Having read this out of sequence, Patel’s writing was crisp, clean and electric with minute details. Some moments made me laugh out loud. Seriously, the letter to James Bond was a riot! Yet at the same time, I truly wanted to join Shaz’s party, however I would need at least a bottle of aspirin and Bloody Mary for the next day’s activities as a recouping devise. Bravo to Patel for making a fun, amusing and light hearted story swirled with an endless bottle of vodka. Alright, I am going to download the other parts to see what I missed!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIn today’s maddening world, this story was refreshingly chaotic and a great escape. Delightful and quirky situations, I never knew what was going to happen next with these fun-loving family members and friends: Shaz, Sheila, Trace, and Bachittar. Reading this story was like being invisible and naughtily peeking into windows or out from them. You never know what you will find when you shouldn’t be looking. But just in case invisible peeking isn’t for you, I’ve nabbed some gems for you.
"She looked over at Skinny Rita, who was using her burkha as her own makeshift picnic blanket."
"Soon the cocktails were ready, all bubbling and smoky. Slowly, the girls took tentative sips. It tasted like a mixture of rhubarb, polo mints, and a Twix bar, and it was strangely refreshing."
"Knackered mothers in pyjamas were sleepwalking into the shop, at a loss as to how to get their kids to fall asleep …"
This story is really lots of fun. It’s beautifully written and takes you on a wonderful and charmingly bumpy ride. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Comical short stories with captivating characters!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseAnother cracking book from Sheila Patel, roaring with laughter at the latest voddy filled adventures of Aunt Sheila and her nieces.
Comical short stories with captivating characters. My personal fave was Sheila's voddy & night nurse fuelled letter to James Bond!
A cracker of a read, recommended to all seeking some humour and many giggles!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and ridiculous. A great read to bring a smile.
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseA cultural romp through the changing seasons and alcoholic festivals, from Easter to Diwali, a vigil for David Cassidy to the erection of a new telegraph pole. There is always an excuse to party. Our Shaz, Trace and Aunt Sheila are as ridiculous and plastered as ever as they watch the melting pot from their corner shop that includes their dad who thinks he’s The Fonz, Nobhead The Rottie, the Avengers Kids, Pandora Patel and Tattoo Tony, tackling the cultural crises’ of our time. Is it possible to get kids to sleep with the internet switched off? Can you cook Christmas Dinner for a whole street on disposable BBQ’s after a ‘Fatberg’ takes out the gas mains? Will James Bond come and fix the gate at number 56?
Another crazy, fabulous and irreverent look at a Bradford community getting on with life the best way they know how.
