Oldenland

A beautifully written and philosophical journey through the natural landscape of old age - what it means to age, to be old, and to still be you.

[Clough has] discovered the secret to thriving in old age . . . Explains how we can come to terms with the peaks and troughs of old age, without losing sight of who we are

Profound and reflective . . . The book stands out for its nuanced perspective on ageing - not as a period to be feared or merely endured, but as a phase to be understood, embraced, and lived meaningfully . . . a heartfelt, insightful companion for anyone currently contemplating the phenomenon of ageing - whether personally, or in support of others. It offers a compassionate, practical outlook on how to age with dignity and purpose - a truly valuable addition to the conversation about ageing in our greying society.

The book is very thoughtful and addresses many difficult issues with the wisdom of academic and personal experience ... Oldenland provides us with much to think about but also leaves us realising that adjusting to old age is continuous, ever-changing, and unfinished until its end. It's a rewarding but fragile stage of life

Courageous, beautiful and very moving
