'The best exotic Marigold Hotel' book now a movie


If you've been to the movies lately, you might have seen or heard about The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a newly released film based on the book These Foolish Things by Deborah Moggach.  In the story, British retirees are lured to India by the promise of indulgent living at a bargain price, but upon arriving, they are dismayed to find that restoration of the once sophisticated hotel has stalled, and that such amenities as water and electricity are . . . infrequent. But while their new life lacks in luxury, it's plentiful in adventure, stunning beauty, and unexpected love. 
Those who enjoyed this story might also want to try the new book An Available Man, in which a 62-year-old bookish widower is flooded with (initially) unwanted female attention after his stepchildren place a personal ad on his behalf.  The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady, about the vengeful elderly subject of a secret government experiment, offers another humorous look at life and love in one's golden years.
