This book turned out to be nothing like what I had expected. I thought it would be a silly little trifle of a story about an older lady and the antics of older people living together in a hotel. But in reality, it was glimpse into a life that awaits all of us who grow old. Each character has their own quirks and idiosyncrasies that makes them leap off the page in your imagination. You can clearly see these people living this life and it doesn’t feel like fiction at all.
