The Last Gift of Time: Life Beyond Sixty Book

Years ago Carolyn Heilbrun, a long-time feminist (Writing a Woman's Life) who also writes mysteries as Amanda Cross (The James Joyce Murder), decided to leave before age dragged her down by committing suicide at 70.

Always erudite, often deliciously wry, if sometimes pretentious, Heilbrun hits the mark more often than not in this book of essays.

Throughout, her sense of renewal is as welcome as her determination to go against the grain.Read More
