Oldish Book Club: It's Not All Downhill From Here
12/23/24 • 34 min
In this new episode in the popular series Oldish Book Club co-hosts Dr. Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust and our dear friend Leslie Ross-Degnan have a joyously deep discussion about It's Not All Downhill From Here by Terry McMillan. It's a wonderful novel about a woman approaching 70 that is so replete with Oldish themes it might almost be a handbook of Oldishness.
You can buy books by Terry McMillan by clicking here. (Note, if you do, we may get a small commission which helps offset the costs of bringing you Oldish).
Our next episode, due out next week, is a lively conversation with Frances Reaves, author of Boomers Booming How to thrive after 65, and Have Good Sex.
