{"product_id":"crazy-age-jane-miller-9781844086504","title":"Crazy Age: Thoughts on Being Old","description":"\u003cp\u003eEver since I have inhabited old age, I have looked and listened, mostly in vain, for news of what it is like for others who inhabit it too. Naturally, I'm interested in its well-known depredations, the physical and mental ones that people in their forties and fifties so publicly dread. And who would not delight in the theatrical props of old age - the pills and sticks, the shrieking hearing aids and the tricks for countering the loss of names and threads and glasses. But that's not all. I have a fond hope that in old age there may be new kinds of time and of pleasure, perhaps even new kinds of vitality, and that, though we forget and muddle and fail to hear things, there may be moments when we truly understand what's going on for the first time. But then I've always been a late developer.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeeply thoughtful, wry and resilient, this fascinating and absorbing book about growing older is a life-enhancing look at what all of us - if we are lucky - can aspire to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184408650X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844086504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Virago Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.01w x 0.67d","brand":"Jane Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45478127272191,"sku":"9781844086504","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5ab90b0-a6f7-49af-8f6f-026b44509fe0.jpg?v=1715934270","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crazy-age-jane-miller-9781844086504","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
