About this listen

Arthur MacDonald, 85, is having an end-of-life crisis. His beloved, dying wife of over 60 years no longer knows who he is. His older brother still has all his hair and a wife almost half his age. The man his middle-aged daughter is dating has a ponytail.

His teenaged grandson wants to cook desserts for a living. And his daughter wants him to move into Silvermine retirement home. Then Arthur meets the gorgeous, radical, 80-something-year-old Robbie and learns that nobody is ever too old to fall in love all over again.

Another very enjoyable audiobook, covering many familiar themes with humor and sensitivity. I liked the Australian "vibe" and descriptions of Sydney, the beaches, the environs.
I have awarded 5 stars for the narration, despite his inability to correctly pronounce "library " or "librarian!" In every other way, it was excellent.

A mellow, rich story - excellent narration

This hook had me hooked from the beginning. Was going though a phase where nothing would engage me properly.

As a Australian living in NZ I enjoyed being transported back there for a time.

Cute. Saw a world I don't often think about.

This book was an excellent read.
It touched on many aspects of getting old in a really dignified way. Aspects I hasn’t even thought about before.
Well researched and the delivery can not be faulted.

The characters in this book were incredibly likeable and descriptions of them brought them to life. I enjoy it from start to finish. There are also a lot of topics covered that are newer conversations in society, and were well presented.
