This week, I read These Foolish Things by Deborah Moggach. It was about a group of British senior citizens who move to an old age home in Bangalore. It had some witty scenes and revealed some truths about the relationship between children and their aging parents. I enjoyed the descriptions of Bangalore, but I was hoping for more focus on a few characters. Instead, there were lots of characters and very few details about them. They are making this into a movie (is anyone surprised?) and it may turn out to be one of those rare instances in which the movie is superior to the book.
Happy Reading!
