{"product_id":"9781440629488","title":"A Place Called Canterbury: Tales of the New Old Age in America","description":"An \"affectionate, touchingly empathetic\" (Janet Maslin, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e) look at old age in America today Welcome to Canterbury Tower , an apartment building in Florida, where the residents are busy with friendships, love, sex, money, and gossip-and the average age is eightysix. Journalist Dudley Clendinen's mother moved to Canterbury in 1994, planning-like most the inhabitants-to spend her final years there. But life was not over yet for the feisty southern matron. There, she and her eccentric new friends lived out a soap opera of dignity, nerve, and humor otherwise known as the New Old Age. \u003ci\u003eA Place Called Canterbury\u003c\/i\u003e is both a journalist's account of the last years of the Greatest Generation and a son's rueful memoir of his mother. Entertaining and unsparing, it is essential reading for anyone with aging parents, and those wondering what their own old age might look like.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142707429616,"sku":"9781440629488","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781440629488_p0.jpg?v=1763786072","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781440629488","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
