Marjorie Kendrick  a widow half paralyzed by a stroke  is dumped into a posh Long Island nursing home by her son. Most of the other elderly patients she meets in the home's recreation room are kept docile and cooperative by the use of drugs. The only exception is Henry Downs  who  as Marjorie soon learns  avoids the diet of pills by collaborating with the nursing home's management.   Like most women her age  Marjorie has lived her life doing as she was told. But that changes following her brush with death  and as she fights her own paralysis  she strives to shake off the paralysis of the others. Little by little  the group comes to life until finally Marjorie galvanizes them into an all-out revolt. Even the sedentary Henry discovers that yes  there certainly can be not only life  but romance after 70.","brand":"Samuel French Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515761463639,"sku":"9780573710407","price":12.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780573710407.jpg?v=1745427845","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-last-resort-9780573710407","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
