Sunnyville [Paperback]

Marion Legrand arrives from France with her daughter after receiving a cryptic letter from her ailing sister Mimi, unaware of what lies in store for them in Florida. They are assailed by a coterie of oddballs at an otherwise stable no-nonsense age discretionary retirement community. Its late-life crisis at Sunny Glen Palms, and from the golf greens to the clubhouse the veil of the American psyche is lifted, revealing the sometimes breezy sometimes topsy-turvy world of retirement. Oh Ive wasted my mind dont you see, says Libby Alsatian, Ive killed my mind and I have to fix it. Right here! The residents problems run the gamut from Alzheimers disease, existential angst and anti-depressants to a major glitch in the plans for Flora Wheelers monumental one hundredth birthday party.
