About the book
Through deeply personal stories, it examines friendship, resilience, and the quiet courage required to face an uncertain future. Barnes weaves together portraits of people confronting loss, rediscovering purpose, and finding connection in unexpected places. From coastal towns to city estates, these interlinked narratives illuminate the experiences often overlooked in conversations about ageing. Compassionate yet unflinching, this is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the realities of growing old in contemporary Britain, and a profound meditation on dignity, community, and what we owe one another.
