Michener is one of my favorite all time authors. This was a great book; I am envious of the talent he had and was sad to see him pass on a few years ago. I like Michener so much I even visited him museum in PA.

I'm not normally a big Michener fan. However, this novel is not like his regular epic type books. Great characters with a terrific story line. The novel is set in a 'not a nursing home' bugt a 'retirement community' in Florida. I enjoyed it very much and liked the way it ended.

Great read- deals well with end of life issues, as well as presenting a view of healthy aging. There are several stories within the story - I really enjoyed it.

I found this book very hard to read. It seemed to be a series of "soapbox" vignettes loosely tied together by a poor plot. Probably should not have been my first Michener read.

not the normal Michner book I enjoyed it beeing a senior citizan

This books shows us that even in our golden years there is still alot of life to live. The elderly people where shown as people with important jobs, some of them still doing these jobs even in there 70 and 80.
It also shows us that even when young and disfigured in the prim of life, there is hope and love and life for use to live.
