Reviews

'There is much to be learnt from this in-depth and extensive ethnographic research: about how older people make sense of, and talk about, the situations in which they find themselves in later life.' 'Degnen's sensitive and thought-provoking ethnography has a moral as well as analytical valency and makes a valuable contribution to this literature.' Peter Collins, Durham University, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 21 211-243 -- .
