VIRGINIA IRONSIDE
As a Booklist reviewer describes the situation in this novel, "Marie Sharp is about to turn 60, and unlike many of her peers, she has no interest in taking up paragliding or living for three months with a Masai tribe in Africa." Instead Marie decides to enjoy herself — by doing what older folks have done for generations: becoming a grandmother and babysitting her grandchild Ironside, who writes a weekly advice column for The Independent in London, manages what Booklist calls "a witty, and at times, poignant description of the challenges and freedoms that come with getting older." |
