"Dunroamin" is a converted guesthouse in Bangladore, where Sonny establishes a home for old people. Travel and set-up are inexpensive, staff willing and plentiful - and the British pensioners can enjoy the hot weather and mango juice with their gin.

Review of 'These foolish things' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I didn't know what to expect of this book, and was surprised to find how engaged I was after a couple of chapters. It's a book about old people finding that their old bodies do not agree with their young spirit. I found the story funny and moving. But I admit I had to "cheat" and check the notes to keep up with everyone's names.
