Retirement for Tom Daly, 65, not very tall, promises to be Almost Paradise, with wine, women and song, not to mention 'happy cakes' at a funeral. But secrets about his past intrude so does the man with the dog, the woman who wants her cat looked after, and then there's the tall, dark beauty who laughs at him. Throw into the mix young Caroline who 'loves old people', the villagers who hate Londoners, and some stray sheep and Tom's life could be hell.
But for the other residents of Faradise Park, different problems arise. Mimi doesn't like Emerald and nobody likes The Grandad. Anyone facing retirement, however, will read this and want to move there immediately because, in the end, thanks to Tom, it works.
This is a story about older people and some young ones as well. And just because they are older, doesn't mean there's no romance.
