No! I Don't Want To Join A Bookclub

Author(s): Virginia Ironside

Fiction.

Curmudgeonly, acute, and funny, this book is what happens when grumpy old women meet Bridget Jones. "Bookclub people always seem to have to wade through Captain Corelli's Mandolin or, groan,The God of Small Things. They feel they've forever got to poke their brain with a pointed stick to keep it working. But either you've got a lively brain or you haven't. And anyway, I don't want to be young and stimulated any more. Those oldies who spend their lives bicycling across Mongolia at eighty and para-gliding at ninety, aren't brilliant specimens of old age. No, they're just tragic failures who haven't come to terms with aging. I want to start doing old things, not young things."

Too young to get whisked away by a Stannah Stairlift, or to enjoy the luxury of a Walk-In Bath (but not so much that she doesn't enjoy comfortable shoes), Marie, is all the same, getting on in years - and she's thrilled about it! First published 2006.
