libwithattitude 's review for:
The Woman Who Kept Everything
by Jane Gilley
Good to read a book with a main female character who isn’t in her twenties/thirties for once! Gloria is funny, down to earth and definitely a ‘senior citizen with attitude’ but for many years she has been hiding her wonderful personality in the mounds of junk she has hoarded in her home. When things come to a head and she receives some counselling during a temporary stay in a home she decides to do a bit of travelling in order to escape her controlling son.
The story has a lot to say about not writing off the elderly when they still have so much to give and further adventures to have. I loved Gloria and I hope to be just as feisty as her when I get older! Interesting to read about what can trigger hoarding too; heartbreaking, but interesting.
