RusticFrancesca Stubbs is in her seventies, but she is still healthy, and although she should have been retired for a long time, she is happy to work for a charity that offers assistance to the elderly who face hardships of all kinds. The people who surround it are also forced to fight to safeguard dignity in the last stretch of their existence, an existence that is more than enjoyed, it copes. Drabble's work is so brave and beautiful because it carries out the revolutionary idea of treating the elderly as people, because it speaks from understanding and love. A novel that raises what a good life is and, therefore, what a good death is.
