Take Care Dear

Malpractice and mayhem - the events of a single day in a residential home for the elderly are described with humour and compassion in this pacey novel. Edith was a child when Stoneycrest was her family home. Now she's an alert and watchful resident. Spiro, the owner, has his own plans for Stoneycrest, as does his love on the side, Marion, the manager of the home. Tass, his niece, is more straightforward in her aims. The day unfolds in surprising ways, as the characters pursue their own ends with varying degrees of calamity and success.
