Finished this...it was truly lovely...a group of now elderly residents had literally spent their lives living in this lakeside community. They loved it so much that they didn't want anyone new to move in. Most houses had a water view, the houses were neat lovely old bungalows with lots of built ins and woodwork and big deep bathtubs. There was a clubhouse and beach and walking trails...everything any one would ever want. There was fishing, fires, marshmallow toasting...but as the residents aged they had to deal with illness, death and their children trying to get them to move to retirement places. The residents were totally outraged when someone new bought a house that they didn't even now was for sale...to them this was a travesty! This book was both serious and funny at the same time. Sad, too...
Reading this...it's already sad...good but sad and thought provoking...
Now I must fit these in...yum! This came to me from Amazon Vine...
Good stuff!
