Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast

I really loved this when I first read it. I'm dealing with an elderly and terminally ill mother and aging in-laws, so this was very relevant to me.

I´m glad my library got it, so hope to get it soon!

This book is incredibly accurate. I live in a senior trailer park.

This was really good, though of course also depressing. My mum is getting more and more demented, which isn´t always easy. I liked the critical view of Chast on her parents who never want to think of illness or death and don´t get easier to handle once they get older.
