Summer light and relaxed comedy, very warm and kind. And although the novel is entertaining, it raises the difficult question of how to build bridges between generations, how very young people and people of advanced age can not only find a common language, but also unite. Lizzie is fifteen, and deciding that it's time to do something useful, she takes a job at a nursing home - an activity no worse than being a punk, especially since literally everyone is a punk, since it's the second half of the 1970s. Lizzie knows a lot about old people - she's seen enough of them in her English village. However, as it turns out, this is a very different kind of knowledge, and she has no idea how to get an old lady out of the bath or what to do if the old man suddenly decides to give up. But when a rival nursing home with more money decides to kidnap the residents of Paradise Corner, Lizzie's talents come in handy - she's as good as anyone at organizing other people's lives and saving people from themselves. A touching, warm and full of inimitable English humor, this is a story about the value of family ties, friendship, first love and ordinary human kindness.
