‘Rowe’s most far-reaching book’
Linda Grant, Guardian
‘Very wise... Dorothy Rowe serves up a stimulating, well-written and illuminating read’
Irish Times
Everyone fears growing older. While our definition of 'old' is dependent on the age we have reached, no one wants to lose the advantages of being young, or to be thought of by others as being past our best, unimportant, even invisible. What is more, we often let our fear of getting older spoil our present life.
Dorothy Rowe has listened to people aged from five to ninety-five talk about how they view time passing and growing older. She finds that our fear of growing older far outweighs the real difficulties, most of which could be ameliorated were we wise. In this warm, hopeful and much-needed book, Dorothy Rowe shows us that we can change, and points us towards a new and positive welcoming of the future.
"Her appeal rests on a clarity of vision, a deep-seated rationalism and an eye, like Jane Austen's, for satire. Her work ... forces you to think for yourself, challenge received ideas and take responsibility for your own life."
