Greta Anthony asked this question about Nine Perfect Strangers:
So, what is this book actually about? I can literally only find the one line description (and praise for the book). Is it a mystery? Is it a self-help book about therapeutic health resorts?

It looks at the experience through the eyes of the people attending and those working at the resort.

The wellness phenomenon has been growing rapidly into a multimillion or even billion-dollar industry over the last 40 years. As society grows richer we also seem to be getting less happy. So it's natural that we are spending a lot on this.

Personally I find the character, Masha, the Russian emigre who runs the business, quite intriguing. I hear that Nicole Kidman (who was a character in the TV show adaptation of the book 'Big Little Lies) has bought the rights to make a film of it and that she wants to play this character.

I recommend this book. Five stars.
