Ageing in a Flash - Irene Buckler - Bog

If only the good die young, then who's left to carry the banner of old age? Ageing in a Flash is about those lucky ones, the survivors, who find themselves adjusting to life as a senior citizen when all they have ever known or ever wanted to know is how to be young or, at least, youngish. They've landed in a place from which there is no way back and the way the forward is not to be dwelt upon. The characters who inhabit these pages have as many stories to tell as those of any age. What the characters in this book have in common (what we all have in common, if we live long enough) is that they face the physical and emotional challenges that are particular to being old. Why not take a peek at their lives? Flash fiction is a disciplined genre which distils each story down to its essence.
