This book is an uplifting celebration of life and living among Ireland's elderly. It carries a positive message, which is both affirming for those already in advanced years and, more importantly, inspiring for those who are heading that way. Anne Henrick's photos cover the energy, beauty and creativity that life can hold for an elderly person today. Maeve Binchy's words express the positive message of what it means to become older, and the joys that await us as we enter the Troisieme age! There is much fear associated with becoming old; fear of being caught on A&E trolley for days on end, or living in isolation and solitiude. Much in our society reminds us of the negative side of growing old. And yet, this is not the truth. This book explores the fun of growing old gracefully.
