The book that inspired the box office hit The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel starring Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Celia Imrie, Dev Patel and Penelope Wilton. 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. Previously published with the title These Foolish Things.

Chosen for Keeta1 from her wishlist for the Australasian Wishlist Tag Game.

Thank you jeniwren, this looks like a fun read :)

Having already watched (and enjoyed) the movie, it was quite difficult to read the book without comparing the two all the time. Still, an enjoyable read, with interesting characters.
This is the cover of the book that I have.
