Will Read it Over and Over Again
This is the first book I have read by Veronique Vienne and I will surley read more. I am 43 and many of the things Ms. Vienne wrote about I believe. It will be a book I will refer to often. I plan to give copies to my "40 and over friends" I'm not sure my younger then 40 friends will apprecitate just yet, or maybe its just that I want to keep this book special between the 40 and over crowd. The photography by her daughter Jeanne Lipsey is done beautifuly. I woud love to have some of her prints even.

To age gracefully
I found this to be a wonderful book. It's refreshing to hear someone express how age is beautiful and how we should embrace it rather than hide from it. I was dreading age before I read this book. Now, I look forward to the knowledge life has to offer me. I want the wisdom that comes from experience. I want to be able to have wrinkles from laughing as an emblem from when I enjoyed so many moments. What I like most about this book is just Veronique's unique perspective. It's looking more at the good in life, rather than focusing on the bad. She found exquisiteness in age.

Encouraging!!!
As so many other young women, I dread growing old and losing IT (if I have it, otherwise losing the possibility of ever getting IT). However, after reading this book I felt much calmer on the subject. The author speaks to the reader like a friend, and teaches that there are many ages in a woman's life, where different styles and attitudes are appropriate. Old can be chic! Young does not necessarily equal chic! Similar Products
