关于此电子书

At 66 years old, Laura Dedlock isn’t living the way her family and society expect her to: quietly and with a measure of dignity.

After rather violently objecting to her ambitious CEO husband’s lying, gossipy memoir by throwing it in the fire, she is forcibly committed to a nursing home where she must live with a suspicious, meddling nurse and residents decades older than her.

When she suspects that her husband has designs on her well-being, she enlists her sister's help to find out what he’s up to and stop him before he takes deadly action.

Her younger sister, Beatrice Butter, put a hold on her free, peaceful, child-free lifestyle to get married and live quietly, with a certain measure of dignity - and has found it lacking.

Dealing with her husband’s health issues and discontented with her quiet life at home, she reluctantly assists in her sister’s schemes. Once she suspects there might be merit to her sister's fears, she is pushed outside of her comfort zone where Beatrice finds hope for a future she once thought would drag out in her small suburban home.

An irreverent look at life before death, and the ways society attempts to age people out of the rest of their lives.
