Once More with Feeling

A Novel

By: Ceridwen Dovey

Narrated by: Jason Chong

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.

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.

almost hard to believe it was writren by a relative youbg woman! so real and honest!

Well- written, touching, insightful

To me, the marks of a good book are: 1. to inspire me reconsider my own thoughts, and 2. to keep coming back to my mind to live on after the book is finished. This book achieved both. The writing was excellent, the characters well- developed and relatable. Well worth reading!

a beautifully written interpretation of elderly at the end of life

I think the voices were well executed. the book was very well written. it was cute, funny, sad, and informative. made me rethink about living in an elderly community when I reach that time in life.
