About this listen

Enticed by advertisements for a luxury retirement home in India, a group of strangers leave England to begin a new life.

On arrival, however, they discover the palace is a shell of its former self, the staff are more than a little eccentric and the days of the Raj appear to be long gone.

But, as they soon discover, life and love can begin again, even in the most unexpected circumstances.

An enjoyable story with some interesting characters. I love Deborah's books in general, and this one seems to be a favourite for many. It was not my favourite, as Stolen and Porky are much better, in my personal opinion. However, still a great book. Good narration.

Enjoyable story
