Lunch at the Piccadilly

By: Clyde Edgerton

Narrated by: Sally Darling

Best-selling novelist Clyde Edgerton is the author of Raney and Walking Across Egypt.

Lil Olive, the leader of a group of feisty elderly women, decides that she is restless at the Rosehaven nursing home. Lil and her friends need some excitement in their dull lives. So, the group of women steal a car and hit the road in search of adventures, which include hilariously unforgettable trips to the local CVS and Hardee's, and end with an encounter with the law.

Critic reviews

"Quietly and wonderfully outlandish." ( Entertainment Weekly)

Wonderful in every way. Performance - outstanding!

There is nothing I didn’t like about this book. I lived in an assisted living home while recovering from a car wreck. I was the youngest person there. I had a great time. I just wish I’d taken notes and recorded interviews. America’s treasures are in those homes.

Perfect narration

I could listen to Sally Darling read all day. Her voice brings the book to life.

Enjoyed Eating at the Piccadilly very much

This book was a lot of fun. This book hit home in some many ways. I laughed out loud, I was sad in parts. It was all a good book should be.

laughs jump out

Clyde takes you down a road and knows where all the good spots are. These old ladies are a trip.
