Pieces of Happiness by Anne Otsby

There's a certain kind of book that appeals to readers who are stuck in the daily grind. They feature characters who are of a certain age who are tired of life passing them by. 

NPR has called it "late life reinvention," and that is an apt description for these titles:

Backman, Frederik. Britt-Marie was Here. (2016)
Davis, Brooke. Lost and Found. (2014).
Evison, Jonathan. This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance. (2015).
Tyler, Anne. Ladder of Years (2010). 


Now, here's a new book that fits that theme, Pieces of Happiness by Anne Otsby. In Otsby's novel, a group of friends in their sixties move to a Fiji island and start a chocolate business.
