Too young to get whisked away by a Stannah Stairlift, or to enjoy the luxury of a walk-in bath (but not so much that she doesn't enjoy comfortable shoes), Marie is all the same getting on in years - and she's thrilled about it. She's a bit preoccupied about whether to give up sex - Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! - but there are compensations, like falling in love with her baby grandson, and maybe falling in love with someone else too Curmudgeonly, acute, touching and funny, this diary is what happens when grumply old women meet Bridget Jones.
Wise, funny and heart-warming Daily Mail Poignant and utterly engaging The Times
In the 'sixties Virginia Ironside wrote a rock column for the Daily Mail before undertaking the role of agony aunt at Woman, where she worked for ten years. She now writes a weekly column in the Independent. Virginia lives in West London, and has one son and one grandson.
