Critics Review
‘Both moving and hilarious’
As funny and moving account of inter-generational friendship as you could wish to read. – Mark Mason, Daily MailBoth moving and hilarious – Spectator * Books of the Year *A tale of gloriously eccentric British pensioners [and] a light-hearted travelogue … [but] so much more than that as well. The pen portraits of his fellow holidaymakers are wonderful. And boy, can he write. – Daily Mail * Book of the Week *Funny and moving … the type of gentle travel writing that will leave you aching to visit a local seaside resort. – StylistOne of the … most enjoyable travel books I’ve ever read … Aitken has an astonishingly sharp eye and ear for the wisdom and weirdness of his elderly companions. * Daily Express *
