Lunch at the Piccadilly by Clyde Edgerton

3.0

This book is funny (sometimes painfully so); I laughed out loud many times reading it. It's sweet and tender and also a little sad. Meet Carl and his Aunt Lil, who lives at a nursing home called Rosehaven; meet their friends, who are vibrant and strong in heart, if not in body. It'll be too short a time, but then, life is short, especially in its last thundering days. I enjoyed this, but definitely finished it wishing I might have known the characters longer and had the opportunity to dive more deeply into the dangling threads Edgerton leaves throughout the story. Some plot points just feel underdeveloped, but the characters are all a joy to know.
