Paradise Lodge by Nina Stibbe. 5 stars for sheer enjoyment. This is a wonderful follow up to Stibbe's Man at the Helm. The Paradise Lodge nursing home is the perfect setting for quirky characters and hysterical observations from 15 year old Lizzie in 1970's Britain. I love Lizzie's voice and laughed out loud multiple times throughout the book which I consider to be high praise (pushing this from 4 to 5 stars). If you've enjoyed Stibbe's earlier books, you'll love this one. If you haven't read her yet (and you like Adrian Mole style British humor) then add this to your TBR.
