Retirement: One man's adventures exploring life's final frontier

The need to make sense of old age lies at the heart of this provocative novel. We watch what happens to a handful of old men in a retirement community as they deal with adultery, deception, happiness, death, third marriages, sex, sickness, success, adult children, failure, friendship, love and loss. If you're young or middle-aged and haven't given much thought to old age, you'll get an idea of what's in store. If you're old, you'll shrug, knowing that's the way it is. A list of topics and questions about subjects the novel raises is included at the back of the book.
