Smile, you're getting old!

by Évelyne Wilwerth, Christine Tipper (Translator)

Overview

Surely a woman who chooses a white rat as a pet and calls him Mr. Loverat is worthy of our attention. Ginny is slightly crazy – she takes her rat to a posh restaurant! And she jumps on the helter-skelter ride of life. In this fun and questioning journey from Ginny’s 45th to 62nd birthday, we eavesdrop on her musings and her conversations with friends and family as she weaves a path through the obsessions of a generation that does not want to accept that we all grow old. {Guernica Editions}
