An irreverent look at the darkly funny experience of getting older from one of Australia's favourite authors.
This book is dedicated to feet, much maligned and underappreciated, but without which we would travel far less.
Rosalie Ham, the international bestselling author, burst onto the literary scene in 2000 with her novel The Dressmaker. After years of entertaining us with weird and wonderful older women characters adored by her readers, Rosalie now turns her trademark wit and shrewd observations to life itself.
Peppered with practical advice about all manner of things – cheese and wine for dinner is welcome and acceptable – Look After Your Feet is a brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of the wisdom that seems to accelerate as body parts deteriorate, and life* falls into place.
* 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
'Thanks to Rosalie Ham, I will look after my feet, enjoy the wisdom I've accumulated from the mistakes I have made and savour this life like a strong martini!' TRACY HARVEY
'Painfully close to the bone but howlingly funny. If you need cheering up, read it today.' MEM FOX
'Ham has described the daily experiences of the older reader with a gentle wit and a healthy dose of irony. She tells it as it is. And much of it is not pretty. But we are in good hands with her wry and wise sensibility.' ROBYN NEVIN
