Author: Mary Fisher
Binding: Hardback
Published: Simcha Press, 1989
Condition remarks:
Book: Good
Jacket: Wear and tear
Pages: Yellowed
Markings: Previous owner
A diverse collection of stories based on residents of a retirement/nusring home: some amusing, some poignant, but linked by a continuing theme that age is only a mask. Mary Fisher takes us into these people's lives. As we listen to the voices of the past, the mask is stripped to reveal the individual that was and still is. We meet the 90 year old rotund little comic to find behind his mask a wealth of philosophy on life and death. We share Sonia's anguish as she witnesses her parents killed in a pogrom, and are transported from Holland in 1936 to exotic Tahiti for Helga's story. We read of Mrs Bonn's experience of Japan and being a witness to the horror of the atom bomb. We applaud gentle Hannah on her triumph against prejudice, to love and be loved at sixty eight.
