It starts with a pretty terrible person complaining about how old people smell. Then she arrives at the book club where there’s a tone of other people and it’s too many all at once that I don’t know who’s who (and I don’t care). One of the women work at an old folks home and she hates old people and treats them poorly. One woman works at a bookmaker and dislikes gambling and gamblers. One woman really doesn’t want to get involved helping a teenager who has just lost his mother. And it goes on and on and everyone is just dreadful. We get to follow… um, maybe 5 people from the book club and 2 police officers, maybe. It’s a mess and I wouldn’t recommend this.
