Shes already had plenty of excitement in her life: sex and drugs in the freewheeling sixties, career and children, marriage and divorce. Now shes ready to settle into a quiet, blissfully boring routine. No Italian classes or gym memberships or bicycle trips across Europe, thank you very much! Marie just wants to put her feet up and start doing old things. Shes even sworn off men! But as it turns out, life still has some surprises in store, the biggest of which is a new grandson on the way. Whats more, Archie, her old childhood crush, suddenly reenters her life, and her closest friend falls seriously ill. Armed with a biting sense of humor, Marie wrestles with a life that refuses to follow her plansand may still offer more possibilities than she realizes.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Marie Sharp, das Alter Ego der Journalistin Virginia Ironside, ist zu jung, um einen Treppenlift zu benutzen, aber doch reif genug, um den Vorteil bequemer Schuhe zu schätzen. Sie geht gern auf Beerdigungen, die sie viel unterhaltsamer findet als Hochzeiten, sie tauscht den Gynäkologen gegen einen Chiropraktiker, liest begeistert Todesanzeigen und fragt sich, ob sie wohl an Alzheimer erkranken wird. Denn Marie Sharp wird langsam alt und ist verdammt froh darüber. Als ihr sechzigster Geburtstag näher rückt, beschließt Marie, ein Tagebuch zu beginnen und all die Ereignisse der nächsten Monate festzuhalten. Es wird ein turbulentes Jahr, in dessen Verlauf Marie Großmutter wird, aber auch ihren besten Freund verliert; ein Jahr, in dem sie Feste feiert, neue Bekanntschaften schließt und sich schließlich erneut in ihren Jugendschwarm Archie verliebt. Vor allem aber ist es eine Zeit, in der sie es genießt, endlich nicht mehr jung sein zu müssen Ein wunderbares Lesevergnügen für alle, die sich so alt fühlen, wie sie sind.
