Sometimes you have to go a long way to find what you're looking for. And sometimes a little beginner's luck is all you need...

James is getting on a bit and needs full-time help. So Phoebe and Robert, his middle-aged offspring, employ Mandy, who seems willing to take him off their hands. But as James regales his family with tales of Mandy's virtues, their shopping trips, and the shared pleasure of their journeys to garden centres, Phoebe and Robert sense something is amiss. Is this really their father, the distant figure who never once turned up for a sports day, now happily chortling over cuckoo clocks and television soaps? Then something happens that throws everything into new relief, and Phoebe and Robert discover that life most definitely does not stop for the elderly. It just moves onto a very different plane - changing all the stories they thought they knew so well.

After the far-flung charms of "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," Deborah Moggach moves to the Welsh countryside in her hilarious new comedy. From the bestselling author of "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" comes another hilarious and romantic comedy, this time set in a run-down B&B in Wales. The irrepressible Russell 'Buffy' Buffery has upped sticks from London and moved to a decrepit B&B in Wales. He needs to fill the beds, and what better way than with 'Courses for Divorces', his new money-making wheeze. From cookery to car maintenance, the recently divorced find themselves re-learning (under Buffy's tutelage of course) all those skills they never thought they'd need again, and a whole lot more besides.

Terwijl Eithnes echtgenoot aan het front zit, probeert zij hun aftandse pension in Southwark draaiende te houden. De oorlog werpt zijn schaduw over het leven van iedereen; de vrouwen staan er alleen voor en er is een tekort aan voedsel. De zekerheden die het leven voorheen draaglijk maakten gelden niet langer. Eithnes zoon Ralph probeert tijdens zijn vaders afwezigheid de man des huizes te zijn, terwijl Winnie, de meid, er maar net in slaagt om het huishouden draaiende te houden. Dan is er opens de slager Neville Turk, een reus van een vent die zijn hart aan Eithne verliest en haar leven op zijn kop zet. Hij verleidt Haar met de beste stukken vlees die hij heeft, en algauw is de erotische siddering van hun affaire door het hele pension voelbaar. Terwijl Ralphs gevoelens van afkeer voor de indringer uit de hand beginnen te lopen, heeft Winnies vreemde liaison met een blinde huurder eveneens schokkende gevolgen. Intussen heeft de slager zo zijn eigen agenda, wat uiteindelijk leidt tot een dramatische climax. Een scnsucle, prikkelende en tragikomische roman van een verhalen-vertelster pur sang.
