"The single ladies of Jacaranda retirement village", by Joanna Nell.
I don't know Farmor.
It is an Australian book by an Australian author and I do know that many of the threads on Gransnet are repeated word for word in an Australian oldies publication, so yes, it could be so.
However, I did enjoy that book and found it very funny in parts, especially as I had an elderly relative in such a retirement village in Australia, sadly she is now in a care home.
