Book of the Week

Live a Little”

By Howard Jacobson

Live a Little is a wickedly observed story of old age which follows the lives of two nonagenarians. ​Beryl Dusinbery, like Scheherazade, is telling the stories of her many husbands and love affairs to her two carers, whilst Shimi Carmelli mourns the death of his estranged brother and avoids the amorous attentions of the Widow Wolfsheim, as his childhood shame comes back to haunt him.
