No! I Don't Want to Join a Book Club: Diary of a Sixtieth Year - Virginia Ironside

Descriere No! I Don't Want to Join a Book Club: Diary of a Sixtieth Year - Virginia Ironside

This wonderfully astute novel based on the author's own experiences is the funny--and often poignant--fictionalized diary of an older woman a decade or two past her prime and content to leave it all behind her. \nRead Virginia Ironside's posts on the Penguin Blog. \nA screamingly funny and poignant story about embracing life beyond middle age \n \n Marie Sharp is heading toward sixty and is just fine with it. She's already had plenty of excitement in her life: sex and drugs in the freewheeling sixties, career and children, marriage and divorce. Now she's 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. \n \n She's 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. What's 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 plans--and may still offer more possibilities than she realizes.\n
