When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple Paperback – January 1, 1991

EXCELLENT book. Thank you.PS: I doubt I will ever like my rubber bloomers!However, don't miss this book...that only age, and wisdom can possibly understand. Jersey

it was a Christmas gift.

Beautifully written. Buy it for many gifts, it will be loved by women al infinitum!

you have to read this

While some stories "ramble" a bit, if you love having female friends to kvetch with, laugh with, complain with, share your time with... this is great to keep near your bathroom for "longer trips," or in your favorite place, so you can pick it up anytime.I have a few favorites, and I'm sure you will too, if you have not purchased it. While it sits on my shelf a lot, I know I'll find a piece I really like. "Post Humus," by Patti Tana is my favorite--and most reminds me of me.Note: I find it best to read the piece first (especially if it's not a long one), and reread it again, slowly, to really enjoy the imagery. It's worth the gift to yourself. Women are amazing... so are many men, like my love of 36 yrs.I really dislike the cover photo. It always reminds me of my deceased, stoic grandmother! The book deserves a better cover. We shouldn't have to look so suspicious, as this woman does. Eewww....

realistic pictures of older women who were not "prettied up" with make-up, etc.+ clever little stories mixed with poetry

Not happy with sticker residue on the book that’s supposed to be a gift!

Book arrived as described and when promised. Perfect.
