Product Description

 
The average age of people in Canterbury Tower), a geriatric apartment complex in Florida, is 86. A PLACE CALLED CANTERBURY is a chronicle of the experiences of the author's mother before and after she moved to the dreaded nursing wing following a debilitating stroke; it is also an account of the fascinating social life of the community, with fresh portraits of the daffy, grumpy, and imperious individuals who live at Canterbury. Life at the fullest in the slow lane includes snacks after sex, martinis, and social debates, as well as the telling of funny stories when the memories hold. Old age has been seen as a foreign country and this is an account of a sojourn in that strange land.
