These Foolish Things

I have recently read a book called 'These Foolish Things'. The book was written by Deborah Moggach. This book was a fantasy book and was set within a nursing home in Bangalore.

The writing in this book was very small but i never had to much trouble reading it. The book had a humourous storyline and i thoroughly enjoyed reading it, i was hooked from the very first page.

The book was all about Ravi Kapoor. Ravi was a doctor who worked in London. Ravi had his life turned upside down when his wife allowed her father to come and stay. Ravi wanted to send his obnoxious and rude father in law to stay in a nursing home, but none of the nursing homes in England would take him. Ravi was finding it hard to live with his father in law but was fast running out of options. Ravi was discussing his problem with his cousin and they soon came uo with a plan. Ravi and Sonny went in to business together and opened a retirement home in Bangalore. Ravi managed with some gentle persuasion to get Norman his father in law to give the home a go. Norman spent some fantastic days out in Bangalore and was happier than he had been for ages. Two weeks before Christmas and that was al about to change. Norman decided that he wanted one last bit of fun and off he set in search of his ast bit of fun. This was all too much for Norman and tragedy struck. What was Norman upto?

I give this book a star rating of five it was a fantastic book to read.
