Amy thought the Hotel Parthenon in Greece would be a nice change for her husband, Labour Minister Tom Jones who is recovering from an operation. He is convinced that it's a bad idea as soon as they arrive and he spots Portia, his redheaded ex-mistress, in the minibus to the hotel. Then they receive a surprise visit from Tom's father. Also on board is an American publisher, a young doctor, a shady pair from London and two enigmatic, elderly twins.
This book is a wonderful comedy reminiscent of A Midsummer's Night Dream, where the most unlikely people fall in and out of love. A Nice Change is classic Nina Bawden.
