Lunch at the Piccadilly by Clyde Edgerton 266 pgs.
Carl's favorite aunt was always Lil, and they have a great relationship. Lil never had kids of her own and Carl has been taking care of her and checking up on her for years. Lil is now living in a nursing home although thinks she will be going home soon so has continued to pay rent on her apartment. As the story goes, we find Lil to be quite a spitfire and Carl is a devoted and loving nephew. There is little chance Lil is going to live alone again but Carl is patient with her and lets her be in charge. The relationships of the residents of the nursing home and Carl befriending them, is heart warming. This book isn't great but it is a nice way to pass an afternoon.
