Autumn's Colours
Autumn's Colours: Glimpses, some humorous and some sad, of everyday and not-so-everyday life in a care home near you. | Nick Holloway
335 posts | 2 to read
Autumn's Colours, is Nick Holloway's first novel, a lighthearted story set in an imaginary care home in a Dorset town. The people and events in the book are based closely on real care homes, real people and real towns. They squabble, chat, fall out, banter, make friends and attempt to seduce each other - just like people in the outside world.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. A little chill in the air, beautiful leaves, freshly picked apples, football games 🍁🍂🍎🏈

2. Apple cider 🍎

3. I was worried about my mother's financial/legal affairs, and learned the situation isn't as bad as I thought. I also did some hard-for-me things to take control.

4. Reasonably affordable health insurance with good coverage.

If I could pick the weather for #litsysummercamp it would not be summer (I live in the south. Check on us. We are not ok right now! 🥵🥵🥵) I would choose crisp fall weather!! @ImperfectCJ

ImperfectCJ I remember when I moved to NC learning that "wedding month" was April and October, not June like in the North. It took me less than one summer to figure out why. ? (I got married there in October.) 3y
BarkingMadRead @ImperfectCJ I come from the Jersey shore and I though I understood humidity 🤣 I live in SC and it‘s a whole other animal lol 3y
ImperfectCJ @BarkingMadRun Seriously! I took a trip to New Orleans one spring and realized that I would basically melt if I lived farther south than NC (although I could maybe do coastal SC). I was born in Pensacola but must have moved too young to acclimate to southern weather. 3y

“The main character struggles after his mother is killed, and the book deals deeply with the aftermath and his personal reckoning with loss. Tartt has this way of writing so descriptively that I can almost physically feel myself being brought into the story, watching everything happen as if I were a fly on the wall.“ —Kallista Stamenov

ElizaMarie 83% - YES! It is clear to see that you are a lover of the best stories that English literature has to offer! It seems that you can't get enough of these classics! You are either a lit professor in the making or one of the best storytellers around! Either way, GREAT JOB! The authors of these classics would be very proud!
