Dr Lucy Pollock a Consultant Geriatrician has written this comprehensive and relatable book which covers the main aspects of getting into old age. The themes she discusses are not limited to those over 70, but will be more relevant to those in that age bracket or those that are caring for someone of that age. The book covers areas such as dementia, falls, living wills, medication but also peppered with positive topics on ageing like the fulfilment and happiness you can achieve in your later years.
"I've learned that we shy away from conversations we ought to have, and I've learned that everything gets better if we can bring ourselves to have those conversations. Most of all I've learned that we don't talk enough about what it is like to be very old, and I hope this book may help to change that."
She uses her personal experiences to curate hypothetical stories that are both heart warming and memorable. Her medical expertise and the research she cites give you confidence you are getting the best advice you can do if you or someone you love is facing any age related issues. I would recommend for anyone that wants to understand how to negotiate the pitfalls of older life, whether that is for themselves or older relatives.
