Look After Your Feet: Some keen observations on the unexpected advantages and indignities of getting older by Rosalie Ham

A funny and honest look at getting older from Rosalie Ham, bestselling author of The Dressmaker.

This book is dedicated to feet. Much maligned, underappreciated, and the reason we get anywhere at all.

After years of entertaining readers with the weird and wonderful older women who fill her novels, Rosalie Ham turns her wit and shrewd observation toward life itself. The result is a sharp, honest, often very funny celebration of the wisdom that seems to arrive just as the body parts start to give out. Cheese and wine for dinner, she suggests, is welcome and acceptable.

Practical advice on all manner of things sits alongside painfully accurate observations about the daily indignities of getting older, and the unexpected advantages that come with it. Life falls into place eventually. Often just a little bit too late.

"This book actually makes me look forward to getting old. I giggled all the way. Can Rosalie Ham be my friend?" Nikki Gemmell

"Painfully close to the bone but howlingly funny. If you need cheering up, read it today." Mem Fox
