Ranjit Lal

Nana, an ex-army surgeon, is completely whacko and life at Shadow House is exasperating, funny and unforgettable, what with Nana’s fixation for his ten Classic and Vintage cars, Duckling’s collection of virtually everything ‘collectible’ and the twins’ notorious business swindles.

But Nana is slowly falling prey to dementia and Alzheimer’s and his daughter makes diabolical plans for him. Will dear nutcase Nana survive all this and return to his beloved Shadow House and Shabby Aunty?
