Publisher's Synopsis
In this insightful take on what it's like to enter the 'third age', broadcaster and writer Esther Rantzen uses her own experiences to guide and entertain the contemporary baby boomer - and show how reaching your fifties is just the beginning. Whether it be her childhood, the death of her husband, her career, having a grown-up child or battling with ageism, her tales will strike a chord with everyone. And in the end a positive attitude, laughter and the love of friends - perhaps with a bit of travel, sex and good health thrown in - is her recipe for a happy future. Esther believes in taking the opportunity when it comes our way, because, we must ask ourselves, in Rabbi Hillel's famous phrase, 'If not now, when?'
