So I borrowed books 1-3 from my Mum and now i have to wait for her to read bk4! I LOVE all of these characters and am especially heartened by the sympathetic portrayal of dementia. KGB, London gangsters, tv personalities, so many larger-than-life personalities. But I think the friendship between Bogdan and Stephen is my favourite thing. Couldn't resist reading aloud some of Ron's thoughts about the couple's massage - to think I have so much in common with all these pensioners! (Honestly, I'm actually only 53). Beginning to talk about retirement living for my m-in-l, and am devastated that Coopers Chase is not an option for her (or me, in years to come!). What took me so long to get around to enjoying these books?
