Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. This slim book is full of insights into nearing ninety-years-old, including the good with the bad. Her takes on the struggle of staying awake until midnight, even with an afternoon nap, and the joy of being able to go home after the ball drops are delightful. Her insight on living life as if each day is your last and that having lunch with Shirley would have been a good day if it had been her last. Her praises of sleeping in a double bed with her husband of sixty years, and, even when mad at each other, being unable to avoid touching the other in the middle of the night and ending up not being able to “sulk the night away” are both humorous and touching. This book will delight readers regardless of age. It will make a wonderful gift for anyone nearing 90. Nearing Ninety: And Other Comedies of Late Life (Judith Viorst's Decades) by [Viorst, Judith]Judith Viorst has such a humorous take on life. It is reflected in this book of poems about "late life." Some of the poems touch subjects that could be tearful but she approaches them in a way that they touch the heart, instead of break it. She talks about the changes which happen at this age, such as hearing more eulogies than symphonies. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to approach the nineties with grace and humor. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
