Enticed by advertisements for a newly restored palatial hotel no filled with visions of a life of leisure, good weather and mango juice in their gin, a group of very different pensioners leave England to begin a new life in India.

On arrival they are dismayed to find the palace in a shell of its former self, the staff more than a little eccentric, and the days of the Raj long gone. But, as they soon discover, life and loves can begin again, even in the most unexpected of circumstances.

In Jurys Inn Plymouth

After dropping off a couple of bookcrossing registered books, I had a look on the shelf and picked this one up.

I look forward to seeing the other books I dropped of a few weeks ago to Sharon on the shelf soon

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of.

**** Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option. ****
