| Summary Note |
The life of 79-year-old pensioner Peggy Smart is as beige as the decor in her retirement village. Her week revolves around aqua aerobics, appointments with her doctor, and taking ever more inventive steps to hide her dwindling faculties in order to avoid giving up her independence. The highlight of Peggy’s day is watching her handsome neighbour Brian head out for his morning swim. She dreams of inviting him to an intimate dinner, but as a woman of a certain age, she fears she has become invisible, even to men in their eighties. However, a chance encounter with an old friend - the glamorous fashionista Angie Valentine - sets Peggy on an unexpected journey of self-discovery. |
