A review by franalibi
Paradise Lodge by Nina Stibbe
5.0
I would expect nothing less from a Nina Stibbe novel.
This one is set around 15 year old Lizzie Vogel who gets a job as a nurse in a residential home so she can afford to buy beer shampoo as her mother is essentially broke.
It’s funny and witty and you fall in love with Lizzie and her narrative!
Here’s one extract to sum it up:
“... she [Matron, another character] dabbed her hanky under her spectacles and the whole thing was too sad to watch. A dalek would’ve cried.”
