No, I Don't Want to Join a Book Club by Virginia Ironside |
Written as a diary spanning 9 months, the author makes it appear quite personal. Her descriptions of being more than middle-aged are brilliant - she describes especially well the realisation that we actually experience feelings which we assumed we never would. It's funny, it's poignant and, at times, brutally frank. I laughed out loud, I shed some tears, and I thought "How true".
