The story of three self-proclaimed "old bags" who run off to a Greek island for a year in order to unshackle the reins of family and lovers, the beautifully paced "The Last Laugh" is narrated by Ruth, a rueful detective novelist who will chronicle these friends' sojourn in a weekly magazine column called "Granny à Go Go." Ruth's two compatriots are her half sister, Bess, a generous, unambitious world traveler devoted to romance and shopping and overeating; and Dania, a snobby, braggadocious Israeli-American psychotherapist who harbors a sinister secret and talks like Google Translate.
