Having seen the hype on the film release of 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' I felt compelled to buy and read the book, before watching the film as the storyline is just perfect for a book read. I must say, the first chapter is proving that I will not be disappointed. Here is the introductory paragraph:
Enticed by advertisements for a newly restored palatial hotel and 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 is 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 love can begin again, even in the most unexpected circumstances.
Deborah Moggach is the author and I am liking her writing style.
