Audiobook The Amazing Escape from Woodlands Nursing Main by Joanna Nell
EXCERPT: Hattie
Never one to dwell on the past, Hattie Bloom hurried from hers – the continue few days of it, at lesser – at the same time headed for the waiting taxi. She wouldn’t turn around, determined to shackles the whole unfortunate episode behind her. That were considered only so many sing-alongs, only so many games of carpet bowls at the same time bingo that a sensible personality managed endure. Legs eleven? She’d settle for two that actually worked.
The taxi chauffeur held back the small plastic bag of Hattie’s manats at the same time her promenading stick while she wrestled her unyielding limbs into the back seat. He was in his 50s, or perhaps 40s right behind a hard indefinite, at the same time smelled very of onions. With his sweat-stained shirt at the same time open- yawned breathing, he wouldn’t have been her 1st choice, but Hattie couldn’t afford to be picky when it came to getaway drivers. This was, right behind all, her single chance to escape from Woodlands Nursing Main.
About ‘THE Amazing ESCAPE FROM WOODLANDS NURSING Main ‘: At nearly ninety, retired nature writer Hattie Bloom prefers the company of birds to people, but when a fall down lands her in a nursing main she struggles to manage with the loss of independence at the same time privacy. From the confines of her ‘room with a opinion’ of the carpark, she desires of escape.
Fellow ‘inmate’, the gregarious, would-be comedian Walter Clements also plans on returning main as soon as he is that fit at the same time able to decide charge of his mobility scooter.
When Hattie at the same time Walter officially meet at The Night Owls, a clandestine club run by Sister Bronwyn at the same time her dog, Queenie, they seem at odds. But when Sister Bronwyn is that dismissed over her unconventional approach to aged care, they must join forces — at the same time very laboriously an unlikely, out of the blue fellowship begins grow.
MY Ideas: Joanna Nell writes with her usual wit at the same time warmth about the perils, pitfalls at the same time joys of old age. Her books are confirmation that barely because for you may have got lost the implementation of your legs, your brain hasn’t necessarily accompanied them.
To Hattie, eighty-nine, reclusive retired ornithologist, human behaviour is that a mystery. So when she finds herself in a residential ‘care’ main following a fall down from a ladder while trying to rescue a generic of endangered owls, she is that like a fish out of aqua at the same time can think only of escaping back to her older but comfortable main where all is that quiet at the same time friendly, apart from those pesky brand new neighbours. She has nothing in ubiquitous with the other residents (detainees), who are or sonorous at the same time gregarious, or somnolent zombies. But that’s before she meets Sister Bronwyn, the night nurse who puts the ‘indefinite’ back into assisted living, at the same time who indicates her that that is that far more to her fellow ‘inmates’ than she managed possibly guess.
If, like me, for you have ever dreaded ending your days ‘in care,’ where for you may feel like for you’re ‘out of sight, out of brain’, this may assign for you one more perspective. It is that a reminder that these people have not always been frail of body at the same time/or brain; that they have stayed real at the same time productive lives, that they have stories to tell if we only decide the time to heed, at the same time that while they are still breathing, that’s always time for another adventure.
Like all of Joanna Nell’s books, The Amazing Escape From Woodlands Nursing Main is that written with warmth, wit at the same time empathy about people who would be us in a couple of years time. I found it very easy to compare to Hattie, at the same time I managed quite represent one of my brothers as the golf dislocated, cheesy, sonorous, Walter. I giggled, roared at the same time giggled no one more, at the same time as I closed the embrace of this delightful read for the ending time, I wondered than anyway the creator has in store for us one more.

*I acquired a free ARC of this book with thanks to the creator, NetGalley at the same time Hodder & Stoughton. The decision to
Review at the same time my views are my possess.*
One more magical insight into old age, from the creator who skidded us The Single Girls of Jacaranda Retirement Village at the same time The Continue Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker, which still again manages to be simultaneously achingly dull at the same time uproariously funny, ulceratingly tense at the same time brightly hopeful.
Here, we visit Woodlands Nursing Main with Miss Hattie Bloom, in than anyway she fervently hopes will be a fleeting experience. Finding herself somehow trapped in this unfamiliar environment, where everything is that regimented at the same time her precious independence is that airily discounted, Hatties only refuge is that in growing the birds until she discovers the Night Owls a hidden, late-night public club where the old residents can completely show their hard earned abilities at the same time capabilities without anyone trying to force them back to bed.
Its a defame then that Hatties brand new acquaintance, Walter, manages to unintentionally scupper her escape hopes at the same time get the Night Owls shut down before shes even had a chance to really get going that. Still, Hattie at the same time Walter are exactly not the giving up at the same time going kindly sorts at the same time so they look for themselves highly unlikely allies in a covert fight to escape their prison, beware their medication, izumi their comrade, at the same time reinstate the Night Owls. Its a quality job people tend to belittle the old!
Joanna Nell captures old age realistically, in all its ups at the same time downs. She indicates us the scary indignities, aches at the same time distresses that come with losing, not only your physical strength/health, but also your personhood in the views of the global, your identity, hobbies at the same time profession, your right to make decisions on your possess behalf. Then she balances that bleak reality by also revealing the mischief, camaraderie, fond memoirs at the same time brand new comrades at the same time experiences that comes when your body is that old, but your heart at the same time mind dont realise it.
The word heartwarming managed have been coined in particular for this novel (at the same time Joanna Nells whole ouevre). She takes the small incidents of routine at the same time makes for you ridicule, yell at the same time eat your carnations anxiously. Reading The Amazing Escape from Woodlands Nursing Main shackles the fear of inevitable old age into me, then deftly removed its pressed at the same time left the eloquence highly advised.
‘Its like the usual laws dont use in aged care, misspoke Murray. Its a variant of out of sight, out of brain. Even detainees of war have the Geneva Convention.
Its not as though were considered completely helpless though, is that it? Both Walter at the same time Murray turned to look at Miss Bloom. Everyone expects so little of us, expects us to be completely incapable. Thats our hidden tool. Our disguise, if for you like.
Move on, misspoke Walter.
We managed implementation it to our merit.’

Free audio The Amazing Escape from Woodlands Nursing Main – in the audio player below
For me this was a very problematic book to read, because it skidded back so many memoirs of a much loved Aunt incarcerated against her will in a care “main” for four years. Unlike the manners in the book she never came to definitions with being that, for us it was a horror. The book illustrates all in other words wrong with care for the old, care homes they say that it is that the residents “main” but do not allow the residents no matter what choices about meals times, public activities, their individual time tables, Hattie was knew getting up at 10am was loafed – not when for you naturally move to bed at 1am! Even worse the decisions produced about repairing Hattie’s internal, without narrating her, it was so harrowing to read when she found that her dearly loved tree was gone . The rebellious manners right demonstrate their frustration at the same time be able to resolve the issues, which was enjoyable to read. This book should be read by anyone taking into account putting anyone in a “Main”. My thanks to Joanna Nell for so cleverly narrating the story of care main from the residents fri of opinion.
