Book description
In her new memoir, Abigail Thomas ruminates on aging during the confines of COVID-19 with her trademark mix of humor and wisdom, including valuable, contemplative writing tips along the way.As she approaches eighty, what she herself calls old age, Abigail Thomas accepts her new life, quieter than before, no driving, no dancing, mostly sitting in her chair in a sunny corner with three dogs for company--three dogs, vivid memories, bugs and birds and critters that she watches out her window. No one but this beloved, best-selling memoirist, could make so much over what might seem so little.Memories fall like confetti, as time contracts, shoots forward, dawdles, and there she is, back in her twenties in Washington Square Park, drinking, having sex with strangers, falling in and out of love, believing in a better world. Whole decades evaporate as she sits in her chair, and a spider takes up residence beside her, who will become her boon companion for the next week.Sometimes dread arrives, inhabits her body like a shadow and all she can do is write it away, pay attention to what catches her eye, sticks in her brain. Whatever keeps her in the moment.Pull up a chair, have a cup of tea and enter Abigail Thomas's funny, mesmerizing, generous world.

I'm amazed at how effortlessly I can immerse myself in books through this app. I'm hooked on this app's ability to make reading fit into every nook and cranny of my day. With ListenBook Pro, I'm no longer limited by audiobook length. It's a liberating experience! This audiobook kept me company during a long road trip and made the miles disappear!

The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
