To escape their griping produced children, husbands, and buffs, and a good amount of grandchildren underfoot, three self-proclaimed "old bags", Dania, Ruth, and Bess, brain for a tranquil island on the Aegean Sea. They'll spend per annum by this particular - seeing the sunset, eating grilled fish and fresh olives, sipping ouzo. They need it, they state. After all those years, the three women will finally have some peace. Except that they can't. For one, Bess, a pampered, once-beautiful inheritress, comes quickly into an affair with a poetry-writing taxi driver - who have, of course, a territorial wife. And Dania, a therapist, starts to receive a growing amount of cryptically menacing phone calls from a psychotic patient. An ex-lover of Ruth's turns up unexpectedly, before one of Bess's will - and then the women's children turn up, with their own requiring children in tow. As the island quickly becomes crowded, the women's serene year in Greece devolves perilously, and uproariously, into something a lot more complicated. With all the wit of Maria Semple's Today Will Be Different and all the adventure of Deborah Moggach's The Best Unique Marigold Hotel, Lynn Freed's The Last Have a good laugh reaches once wildly funny and deeply perceptive, an exuberant report of a friendly relationship and pleasure, family, and love.
