Lunch at the Piccadilly by Clyde Edgerton

1.0

Described as “deliciously funny,” this novel fell far short of the mark for me. Humor is a delicate & fairly unique thing, and this was just not my cup of tea. The nursing home peccadilloes and hijinx may be funny to some, but to me it was just heartbreaking. All I could think about was how elderly folk are treated so poorly, there’s none of the respect that they are due, and getting old and having your body fail you is just horribly sad & very humiliating — at least in Western culture. And that breaks my heart.
