Singing in Tune with Time: Stories About Ageing Elizabeth Cairns
In this anthology, Colette, Nadine Gordimer, Margaret Laurence, Penelope Lively, Grace Nichols and Muriel Spark, among many other writers, challenge, celebrate and explore older women's lives. Stories, poetry, extracts and autobiography mingle to reveal how women face and challenge the passing of the years. Some anticipate new opportunities and the freedom to simply be themselves, one bitterly rages against infirmity while others accept the restrictions of ageing and are not diminished by them.
