Our reading choice for Summer 2013 is
"The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"
by Deborah Moggach
The book discussion will take place on Tuesday, August 13th @ 6:30 pm.
"When Ravi Kapoor, an overworked London doctor, reaches the breaking
point with his difficult father-in-law, he asks his wife: “Can’t we just
send him away somewhere? Somewhere far, far away.” His prayer is
seemingly answered when Ravi’s entrepreneurial cousin sets up a
retirement home in India, hoping to re-create in Bangalore an elegant
lost corner of England. Several retirees are enticed by the promise of
indulgent living at a bargain price, but upon arriving, they are
dismayed to find that restoration of the once sophisiticated hotel has
stalled, and that such amenities as water and electricity are . . .
infrequent. But what their new life lacks in luxury, they come to find,
it’s plentiful in adventure, stunning beauty, and unexpected love".
