No-one wants to die young, but nobody wants to get old. Elke Heidenreich, having reached a certain age, has made it her mission to debunk some of our persistent myths about ageing in this wise, witty and life-affirming book. More than a self-help text, it is a series of reflections on the author’s life and experience as a writer, literary critic, journalist and television presenter: measured and compassionate, and drawing on the work of philosophers, historians and authors.
ELKE HEIDENREICH is a German author known in the U.K. for her children’s book Nero Corleone: A Cat’s Story, which was translated into 24 languages. She has also been a writer of television shows and film scripts, a literary critic and a journalist. She is most renowned in Germany for having been the presenter of the popular and influential television book programme Lesen!, and previously for being the agony aunt for Brigitte magazine for 17 years.
