Welcome to Litsy!

Elizabeth Marshall Thomas is fascinating. I didn't know when I requested an ARC that she is a bestselling author and anthropologist. If you're expecting a conservative book from a doddering old woman, this is not it. Our G Liz has escaped a lion attack. She tried to light a cigarette on her 80th birthday cake but her children wouldn't let her. She lost her husband only a few years ago. She has faced death and come out the other side. ⬇️

Being old must be incredibly frustrating. But to do it with as much joie de vivre as these residents do might makes it seem less frightening. This novel tenderly explores life and death with more than a few laughs. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookstagram #mybookshelf #books #readingwomen #growingold #thegradlife
