About this listen
There's life in these old dogs yet... and they're about to discover it. A heart-warming and humorous story about rediscovering the small pleasures that make life worthwhile, from Australia's master storyteller.
Howard and Elsie Manning were born on the same day, met at kindergarten, and have been married for 59 years. They have lived sensible, productive lives, and raised two self-sufficient daughters. Now, at 78, they are bored with the predictability of life, fed up with contemporary society, have aching joints and dwindling finances, and—funeral by funeral—their circle of friends is shrinking. Worst of all, they are grieving for their beloved, recently deceased dog Maisie.
Together Howard and Elsie consider bringing their lives to a peaceful end, but it turns out leaving this world is not easy, especially if they want to avoid pain or mess. Even the apparently simple methods have much room for error, as they discover.
Then a knock at the door changes everything...

Fabulous Read
I really enjoyed this book by Fiona who is a favourite author. Fiona certainly delivers. A exploration of later stage of life and how things can change. I loved the characters including Milly, Connor and daughters Corinne and Janine. a lovely heart warming story. Enjoy!

Totally engaging
A wonderful and warm story that explores the challenges of the ageing process and how life changing bringing the generations together can be. Fiona McCallum never disappoints and reader Jennifer Vuletic is simply the best there is at story narration.

Lacking storyline
I rarely dislike a book, but I managed to sit this one out for 6 hours, but could bare no more. The language was childish, and over the top. Sorry, but it was just boring. I am 62 and could relate to the issues of aging, but these were not realistically portrayed. Very disappointing and predictable.
