Making things better

Anita Brookner

first published 2002 Center Point Pub., 2003 288 pages

"Making Things Better captures the quandaries of aging: the misunderstanding of an increasingly modern, alien world, awkward conversations with passersby; even more awkward encounters with longtime friends and acquaintances; the anxieties posed by age and uncertainty - and the bizarre, magnificent self-knowledge that perhaps only age, reflection, and experience can bring."--BOOK JACKET.
