A Jewish assisted living home is the setting for this very fine novel about finding love and friendship at any age. The people living in the home are setting about to perform Shakespeare's Hamlet, but ongoing mishaps and complicated relationships keep forcing the thespians not only to change roles but also their perceptions of each other. Not exactly a comedy, but there are many light touches to keep the reader amused and ever engaged with a very engaging cast of characters. I highly recommend it.
