Nina Stibbe's unique and humorous style delivers another winner!

I’m a sucker for a pun, and this is another witty book about a serious subject, so it’s right up my street. Milton it ain’tI romped through it at a time when I was desperate for entertainment. Aging is explored with a sense of freshness and fun as a teenager goes to work in an old people’s home.

A convincing voice, well observed, and ultimately poignant as our protagonist gets closer to understanding age and the elderlywhilst growing up herself. I love the fact that the jokes are never laboured. It’s coming to us all…

From Gill's list on books for when life heads downhill.
