LIVE A LITTLE - HOWARD JACOBSON KARTONIERT (TB)

'A . . . tender love story . . . This book is alive. It pulses with warmth and intelligence'
The Times A wickedly observed novel about falling in love at the end of your life  by the Man
Booker Prize-winning author of The Finkler Question. At the age of ninety-something  Beryl
Dusinbery is forgetting everything ¿ including her own children. She spends her days stitching
morbid samplers and tormenting her two carers with tangled tales of her husbands and affairs.
Shimi Carmelli can do up his own buttons  walks without a frame and speaks without spitting.
Among the widows of North London  he¿s whispered about as the last of the eligible bachelors.
He forgets nothing ¿especially not the shame of a childhood incident that has long hung over
him. There's very little left remaining for either of them. . . But perhaps just enough to heal
some of the hurt inflicted along the way  and find new meaning in what's left. *SHORTLISTED FOR
THE WINGATE LITERARY PRIZE 2020*
