Léonce 72 years. She is a seamstress and she always loves her job. Unfortunately, due to his advanced age, her employer decides to forced retirement. For Léonce, this is the beginning of the end She did more to taste nothing is old, ugly and totally unnecessary! All his neighbors will scramble to try to get her out of her depression and restore taste to life!

Standing old! is a book that feels good. Although it is realistic, especially on the lack of consideration that most people have for retirees, but it ends on a positive note, giving us a smile.

The character of Leonce, a stubborn old lady and slightly gruff, is still endearing. We feel great fragility and sensitivity delle background and that is to protect what sest forged this shell. It pushes all those who want to help him, but gradually his armor eventually crack

The other characters of the neighborhood bins mimosas, are essential to the story and very well described by the author.

There is a single mom who fled a violent man and now is raising her teenage son, a very shy florist, a janitor who tries to change things, an Ivorian mother who soothes wounded souls and broken hearts suddenly A good food too motley quattachant!

In conclusion, I spent a pleasant time in the company of Leonce and all his friends. Standing old! is a novel about tolerance, lentraide, intergenerational relationships, compassion, friendship and love simply! If you want with a simple story, but that gives you a smile and the hope at the end, so feel free-plus
