Summary:
At nearly ninety, retired nature writer Hattie Bloom prefers the company of birds to people, but when a fall lands her in a
nursing
home
she struggles to cope with the loss of independence and privacy. From the confines of her 'room with a view' of the carpark, she dreams of
escape
. Fellow 'inmate', the gregarious, would-be comedian Walter Clements also plans on returning
home
as soon as he is fit and able to take charge of his mobility scooter. When Hattie and Walter officially meet at The Night Owls, a clandestine club run by Sister Bronwyn and her dog, Queenie, they seem at odds. But when Sister Bronwyn is dismissed over her unconventional approach to aged care, they must join forces and very slowly an unlikely, unexpected friendship begins to grow. Full of wisdom and warmth, The
Great
Escape
from
Woodlands
Nursing
Home
is a gorgeously poignant, hilarious story showing that it is never too late to laugh or to love.
