The art of growing old without disturbing the young

In this hilarious, tender, and at times even moving novel, Aurore Py takes us to a nursing home. There we meet Adèle, who tells us her story. Her most private wounds, her successes and the things of which she is most proud, but also her intact sense of adventure. Leaving her slightly unusual fellow residents in her wake, she really stirs things up and reminds us that the third age can also be an opportunity to leave our comfort zones and a chance to make amends, to put right, and to make peace with others and above all with ourselves.
