The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village

Reviews

The perfect blend of funny and moving. Peggy Smart had me laughing and crying in this ultimately uplifting story I loved it! I want to be Peggy when I'm older. With many laugh-out-loud moments, this book celebrate life in the later years and is sure to make you see "getting old" in a different light. A refreshing, funny, realistic and warm read It is a hoot! I don't think I've laughed out loud at a book as much since I read Marian Keyes' Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married. Regardless of your age, I can highly recommend you snuggle up with Peggy Smart and her band of old-timers who have a lot to teach us about growing old, and it's not about doing it gracefully I loved this warm and witty story of an older woman learning to stand up for herself, and found myself cheering for her to succeed. A terrific feel-good read It was so refreshing to read about characters at this stage of their lives. It touched my heart and will have real staying power in the hearts and minds of readers Review This is a funny, witty and thoroughly enjoyable read for all ages. This is an enjoyable, easy read This novel is bound to be the feel-good book of Christmas giving as it is a book to love whether you are in your late teens or into a new century. Guaranteed to be a word-of-mouth hit well into 2019 The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village is an uplifting look at growing old 'disgracefully' and not letting society (or your own flesh and blood!) make you think you can't do what you want to...even at almost 80 years old! In Joanna's book, age is irrelevant unless you area cheese, and her characters navigate their trials and tribulations with a collective spirit and a refreshing disdain for their disapproving onlookers. an uplifting story about aging, spiced up with a dash of mystery, sex, fast cars and brandy. You might have to wear sensible shoes but you can still enjoy champagne. This novel shows that older people still enjoy sexual relationships; that friendship is vitally important; and that accumulated life experiences allow them to face their certain future with huge dignity.
