A lovely book, poignant and sweet. Told from the perspective of Hattie and Walter, two inmates of the Nursing home, it shows how even the very elderly have fun, do outrageous things, and blackmail the Home into keeping the lovely Sister who has such fun nights with them I wish all nursing homes had someone like her!
Thank you NetGalley for a review copy.which I enjoyed very much.

Some great characters and a real mix of happy and sad emotions brought forth. This book is a super read and again shows the author’s skill in depicting the frustrations of older people whose spirits and faculties are still vibrant even when their physical abilities might be restricted. A very entertaining read.

funny, moving and sweet. Just what we need these days. Very enjoyable. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher!

The Great Escape From Woodlands Nursing Home is a pleasant and light-hearted book told from the point of view of two nursing home residents, Walter and Hattie.
I actually really enjoyed this story - not my usual genre but I work nights in a nursing home myself so thought it’d be interesting to read.
There was such a lovely blend of different characters, interesting and unique plot and subplots, and light humour throughout. The perfect mix of heartwarming moments and heartbreaking moments.
The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars for me was that I found the pace a little bit slow in places, but that’s just my personal opinion and obviously may be perfect pace for someone else!
Overall an enjoyable read.

This poignant story of "caring" for the elderly will give many pause for thought. Although Woodlands Nursing Home is somewhere in Australia it could just as easily be in the UK (apart from the weather). The novel is littered with gentle humour and lovable characters but also picks up on many of the problems of those in their later years, and their families. Everyone should read this and think about what provision they should be making for themselves and their loved ones when they struggle to remain independent.

With thanks to netgalley for an early copy in return for an honest review

A lovely story about life in an old folks home. I enjoyed this book, it had some sadness but also made me laugh out loud in places. Once I got into this I couldn’t put it down until I finished at 2am!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for an honest and unbiased opinion.
