Disaffected, broke, cynical, 44-year-old Kendal Tudge has just received a call from the warden of the old people's home, Jurassic Court: her sole relative Uncle Clem has died. She filches some of her housemate's clothes and dashes to the funeral in sleepy Dorset with all her prejudices against the provincial and elderly stacked in her scruffy backpack. Only to find out that Bingo! - she's hit the jackpot and inherited Clem's flat where she temporarily installs herself. Within days she's rather enjoying the free clean air, free food and the views from her free accommodation of coast, country, and... Gary, the handsome warden. Why not stay? Trouble is, you have to be over 60. And not mind oldies for neighbours. So begins Kendal's quixotic, complicated, funny seaside odyssey of self-discovery and... subterfuge (yes, she pretends to be older!) with the trusty aid of her newly devised Tudge Transformation Toolkit. A comedy, a romance, about growing up, honesty, friendship and... what it is to age.
