travail quotidien et surtout par les soucis que lui cause son insupportable beau-père, Norman Purse, un vieux satrape aux révoltantes manies, combinant avec un rare bonheur l'égoïsme, le sans-gêne et l'obsession sexuelle sénile. Déjà expulsé de toutes les maisons de retraite convenables, Norman semblait impossible à recaser. C'est alors qu'un cousin de Ravi, un homme d'affaires au dynamisme sans bornes, va créer en Inde une chaîne de maisons de retraite très "Vieille Angleterre", où les Britanniques d'âge avancé, déconcertés et parfois même affolés par les conditions de vie nouvelles de leur pays natal, pourront retrouver, au soleil et dans la paix, les moeurs et l'atmosphère de leur jeunesse évanouie. Dans la grande tradition de la littérature satirique anglaise, Deborah Moggach met en scène avec un humour acerbe, mais souvent teinté de tendresse, ce petit monde dépassé par le temps, mais qui ne va tarder à découvrir que la vie peut encore apporter d'étranges bonheurs". -- 4e de couvL'espoir, cette tragédie

Une très vieille femme très en colère, une icône que le monde entier pensait morte depuis longtemps. Une héroïne de l'Histoire bien décidée à rétablir sa vérité... " -- 4e de couv
