Clare Pooley, fed up with books about sad older characters, wrote her hilarious bestseller, ‘How to Age Disgracefully.’

Clare Pooley explains how she came up with her ensemble comedy about seniors, secrets — and toddlers! Tired of books and films where the only older people were “sort of side characters being rescued by a younger person, I thought, ‘Well, sod that!’ I want to see older people who are the kind of person I want to be, who are kicking ass and showing younger people how to do things.”
