ESCAPE FROM TWILIGHT GROVE
Book ID/图书代码: 04320214B68296
English Summary/英文概要: Twilight Grove retirement home turns into a kind of hell when it is taken over by foreign construction workers cursing fluently in Finnish. The noise is deafening, a hole appears in the wall, things disappear and residents have to use a portable toilet.
Residents Siiri, Irma and Anna-Liisa, all more than 90 years old, decide to move into a shared apartment in the exotic neighbourhood of Hakaniemi. All three have their own habits and quirks, and life together isn’t entirely free of friction. The women also learn about the sad differences in quality with at-home assistance, and are forced to become familiar with terminal care and questions surrounding euthanasia.
Our heroes also can’t help looking into the suspicious plumbing project at Twilight Grove. As the mystery unfolds, they begin to find out that few people in this world have a fully clean record.
Escape from Twilight Grove is an independent sequel to the smash hit Death in Twilight Grove (2013).
