Joanna Nell

Joanna Nell is an Australian author of contemporary fiction. She is also a practising GP, and her medical background informs her fiction with compassion, observational detail and an understanding of the vulnerabilities and strengths of the human condition. Her novels celebrate the lives of older characters who are too often invisible in contemporary fiction. The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home is a warm, witty and life-affirming novel about the residents of a nursing home who refuse to accept that their best days are behind them. The book challenges stereotypes about ageing and proves that adventure, friendship, love and rebellion have no age limit. Available as both a book and an audiobook, The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home offers uplifting listening and reading for fans of contemporary fiction who appreciate stories that celebrate the humour, dignity and vitality of older people who have plenty of living left to do.
