Publisher's Summary

When Ravi Kapoor, an overworked London doctor, is driven beyond endurance by his disgusting and difficult father-in-law, he asks his wife: "Can't we just send him away somewhere? Somewhere far, far away."

His prayer seems to have been answered when his entrepreneurial cousin, Sonny, sets up a retirement home, recreating a lost corner of England in a converted guesthouse in Bangalore. Travel and set-up are inexpensive, staff willing and plentiful - and the British pensioners can enjoy the hot weather and take mango juice with their gin.

Excellent

Great read (listen), much more depth than the movie and in fact only slightly related!

are books better than movies

it was a surprise that despite the cover this book is very different from the movie which was disappointing because I was hoping to hear how much the story dealt with details of the movie
