Dignity & Grace of Ageing - Thryft
Dignity & Grace of Ageing - Thryft

Journey of ageing told through captivating novels.

This book could be a good read for someone who wants to explore the beauty and challenges of growing old. Through the two captivating novels, "The Forgotten River" and "Listening to Letter from America", readers embark on a journey that celebrates the resilience and wisdom that come with age. The book not only offers insights into the struggles faced by those affected by Alzheimer's, but also provides a poignant exploration of the healing power of shared experiences. It is a reminder that even in the face of memory loss, there is still beauty and grace to be found in the process of ageing.
