Taken For A Ride by Neil Roland
Set in the prosperous Manchester suburb of Didsbury, Taken for a Ride combines a rich and deep vein of humour with a rarely explored subject matter - old age. Against the background of a Jewish Old People's Home the novel weaves an intricate path through the web of confusion and intrigue that surrounds the dealings of a local estate agent as he tries to exploit those forced to sell their homes. A beautifully written novel. Original, comic, moving, pacey and perceptive' - Jack Rosenthal 'Precious and rare' - Bernice Rubens'
