{"product_id":"a-place-called-canterbury-9780143115304","title":"A Place Called Canterbury","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":"STANDARD","offer_id":62230732931459,"sku":"9780143115304","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780143115304.jpg?v=1785340778","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/a-place-called-canterbury-9780143115304","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
