Description

"Certainly Not" says Marie Sharp, when a friend suggests she join a bookclub as she turns 60. Bookclub people feel they must poke their brain with a pointed stick to keep it working. It's bad as oldies who cycle across Mongolia in their 80's or paraglide in their 90's. As far as Marie is concerned, they are not brilliant specimens of old age - they're tragic failures who haven't come to terms with ageing. Too young to be whisked away by a Stannah Stairlift, or to enjoy the luxury of a walk-in-bath (but not so young that she doesn't enjoy walking in comfortable shoes), Marie is, all the same, getting on in years and she's thrilled about it! She's a bit preoccupied about whether to give up sex, but there are compensations, like falling in love all over again - but this time with her baby grandson. Curmudgeonly, acute and funny, this fictionalised diary is what happens when Grumpy Old Women meet Bridget Jones.
