More uproarious tales of growing old disgracefully from beloved agony aunt Virginia Ironside, for fans of Jenny Eclair and Sue Townsend.
Marie is turning 69 this year, but there are no signs of her slowing down - she has a new lodger (very into conspiracy theories), an intractable iPhone to wrestle with, and a trip to India to plan!
As usual the year brings plenty of challenges as well as opportunities. Marie is burgled, which sends the street into uproar. Ex-husband David is still around and getting rather too close for comfort. Marie's cat Pouncer is starting to look rather peaky (her conspiracy-theorist lodger is convinced someone is poisoning him), and probably worst of all, it seems Gene is getting too old to want to hang out with his groovy granny any more. Maybe learning to paint graffiti and speak street slang will help win him back?
Full of Virginia Ironside's inimitable wit and featuring plenty of popular characters from this series, this is a hilarious and touching look at getting older from one of Britain's sharpest observers of relationships.

Review:
Reminiscent of the great Sue Townsend . . . a combination of unpretentiousness, generosity and piercing insight (Daily Mail)
Witty and affectionate, wise but never pious, this is a delightfully irreverent look at growing older (The Spectator)
Funny, often agonisingly sad - and familiar (The Lady)
The latest, and best, of Ironside's wonderful series . . . full of hilarious truths (Daily Mail)
[Ironside's] chatty style of writing is endearing, her escapades laugh-out-loud funny, her thoughts and feelings often poignant [and] her observations pin sharp (Choice Magazine)
