Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has spent a lifetime observing the
natural world, chronicling the customs of pre-contact
hunter-gatherers and the secret lives of deer and dogs. In this
book, the capstone of her long career, Thomas, now 88, turns her
keen eye to her own life. The result is an account of growing old
that is at once funny and charming, intimate and profound - both a
memoir and a life-affirming map all of us may follow to embrace our
later years with grace and dignity. Growing Old explores a wide
range of issues connected with ageing, from stereotypes of the
elderly as burdensome to the methods of burial that humans have
used throughout history to how to deal with a concerned neighbour
who assumes you're buying cat food to eat for dinner. Written with
wit and compassion, this book is an expansive and deeply personal
paean to the beauty and the brevity of life that offers
understanding for everyone, regardless of age.
