Synopsis
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. She's a bit preoccupied about whether to give up sex - Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! - but there are compensations, like falling in love with her baby grandson, and maybe falling in love with someone else too?
Curmudgeonly, acute, touching and funny, this diary is what happens when grumply old women meet Bridget Jones.

From the Inside Flap
"Certainly not!" said Marie Sharp, when a friend
suggests she join a bookclub when she turns sixty. "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."
