{"product_id":"9780143115304","title":"A Place Called Canterbury : Tales of the New Old Age in America","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn \"affectionate, touchingly empathetic\" (Janet Maslin, The New York Times) look at old age in America today Welcome to Canterbury Tower , an apartment building in Florida, where the residents are busy with friendships, love, sex, money, and gossip-and the average age is eightysix. Journalist Dudley Clendinen's mother moved to Canterbury in 1994, planning-like most the inhabitants-to spend her final years there. But life was not over yet for the feisty southern matron. There, she and her eccentric new friends lived out a soap opera of dignity, nerve, and humor otherwise known as the New Old Age. A Place Called Canterbury is both a journalist's account of the last years of the Greatest Generation and a son's rueful memoir of his mother. Entertaining and unsparing, it is essential reading for anyone with aging parents, and those wondering what their own old age might look like.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49713529291000,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":52.87,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780143115304-1.jpg?v=1783578207","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/ja\/products\/9780143115304","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
