Help - our Book Club needs a 'happy' book!

Our monthly Book Club has just read a series of quite dark/sad/downright depressing books (The Road, The Shack, Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Mercy) and my choice is coming up and everyone would like a more happy or uplighting book - and I am stumped! (Does that say something about the books I choose to read???!!!!)

We've already done The Secret Life of Bees but something like that would be good. Any pointers?

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen was a good light read for me recently
