"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
After a slow start, this contemporary British novel builds momentum and becomes a delightful blend of humor, romance, and mystery. The setting is a posh rest home for senior citizens in the Midlands, and the focus is on the home's residents and their amusing quirks. The protagonist is Elsa, a divorcee in her early 30s who works as an unskilled assistant at the home. She becomes involved with two troubled men during her brief employment there: the local physician and a fellow aide. One of these relationships leads to an unpleasant brush with the law, the other to an extramarital affair. There's a lot going on here, and readers many have to go slowly to keep the characters straight. Their perseverance will be rewarded. Joyce Smothers, Ocean Cty. Lib., Toms River,
