Once More with Feeling

A Novel

Arthur MacDonald, 85, is having an end-of-life crisis. His beloved, dying wife of over 60 years no longer knows who he is. His older brother still has all his hair and a wife almost half his age. The man his middle-aged daughter is dating has a ponytail.

His teenaged grandson wants to cook desserts for a living. And his daughter wants him to move into Silvermine retirement home. Then Arthur meets the gorgeous, radical, 80-something-year-old Robbie and learns that nobody is ever too old to fall in love all over again.

Enjoyable, Unusual and Thought Provoking

I found it thoroughly refreshing to encounter characters who are elderly but vibrant as well.
This book was an unusual treat, therefore. The characters were well developed and varied. Dealing with true old age is rare in modern novels in my experience.

Thoughtful

Glad that audible escape has a thoughtful book, not just the typical romance. Although some might write it off as a depressing book, there were many points that had me chuckling. Maybe you have to be “of a certain age” to appreciate this book.

A wonderful story

Start to finish. Elegant, heartwarming, Poignant, emotional, lovely, thought provoking. Loved it. Highly recommend it.

Blown Away

I absolutely loved the story as well as the performance. It really made me more compassionate towards people whose stories I don't know. The author writes with a simple and beautiful empathy. I couldn't recommend this more!

hilarious and heartfelt

This book, about man making his way through the end of his life, is both funny and thought provoking. it touches on deep issues and lightens up heavy ones. a very worthwhile read.
