My mama found this for me. It was very fun, sweet with a happy ending. Very British. Just up my street. Rosie is a grandma that is not ready to relax yet. Her grandson takes her in and the fun begins. ( )

I really enjoyed this novel, I love the characters and the setting. Rosie, is 87 and grandmother to Nick, her 39 year old grandson, and has plans of living in the fast lane for the rest of her days. She's learnt how to surf the Net, she's been arrested for chaining herself to the Russian Embassy's gate, and after Nick takes her home to live with him on the Isle of Wight, she enrolls in a Learn to Sail course, which results in her going into hospital. They are supported by a lovely cast of believable characters, especially Henry, Nick's ageing boss who buys Nick's art work to sell to the tourists that frequent his gallery. Nick turns out to be just what Rosie needs at this time in her life, and surprisingly Rosie is able to help Nick sort out his life a little. The story flows along at a nice easy pace, and it's a book that can be picked up and put down very easily. ( )

A fun, frothy read. Nick receives a phonecall from the police, his granny, Rosie, has been arrested for chaining herself to the railings of the Russian embassy. Rosie is not the type to grow old gracefully, a woman after my own heart! Who were her Russian parents, will Nick get over the loss of his girlfriend Debs? ( )

I love Alan's books, and it is his voice I hear as I read them (except the naughty bits which sound weird in Alan's voice!)
Lovely light and fluffy books, perfect to curl up with on a sunny day. ( )
