She had weathered and even thrived in widowhood, taking on acting roles that would have been demanding for a woman half her age. She had energy, friends, a devoted family, a lovely home. She could still remember her lines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo why, at 89, having sailed past supposedly disturbing milestones – 50, 70 even 80 – without a qualm, did she suddenly feel so furious? Shocking diagnoses, Brexit and bereavement seemed to knock her from every quarter. And that was before lockdown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHome alone, classified as 'extremely vulnerable', she finds herself yelling at the TV and talking to the pigeons. But she can at least take a good long look at life – her work and family, her beliefs (many of them the legacy of her wartime childhood) and, uncomfortable as it might be to face, her future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eOld Rage\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, one of Britain's best loved actors opens up about her ninth decade. Funny, feisty, honest, she makes for brilliant company as she talks about her life as a daughter, a sister, a mother, a widow, an actor, a friend and looks at a world so different from the wartime world of her childhood. And yet – despite age, despite rage – she finds there are always reasons for joy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"secondchancereads","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51719708672216,"sku":"9781526647450","price":13.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/7704\/9816\/files\/9781526647450.jpg?v=1779842729","url":"https:\/\/secondchancereads.com\/products\/old-rage-by-sheila-hancock","provider":"secondchancereads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
