Growing Old Disgracefully (by Karen King)

I have fallen in love with books written by Karen King and the British life. First of all, kudos to Nancy! As a woman whose husband suddenly walked out (left me for a younger woman) after 27 years of marriage, my heart ached for her. But the way she pulled up her big girl panties and began to live a satisfying and fulfilling life without her jerk of a husband made my heart soar. If Nancy was a real person and we lived close to each other, I could envision us being BFFs. The people who become part of her life were delightful. I enjoyed watching how Nancy matured and developed into a self-reliant and happy woman with a new set of friends, a new life, and a potential love interest. I absolutely love reading books about a group of individuals “of a certain age” who create a sense of community and prove that your home may have felt empty, but your life will be filled with friends, adventure, a sense of purpose, and hope for the future.
