Hodnocení: 3,5/5 ✩
Babičky na tahu jsou knihou, která vás od jistého věku přiměje, se nad lecčíms zamyslet. Jsem moc ráda, že se Judy Leigh rozhodla napsat příběh o ženách, které navzdory svému věku a představám okolí, dokáží stále žít naplno. Je to příjemně poetické čtení, které do myšlenek na stáří, vnese trochu té naděje. Příběh o silných, citlivých, odhodlaných a úžasných ženách, které se nebojí změn a rozhodnutí ani ve vyšším věku a jsou odhodlané jít si za svým cílem a které navíc pojí, úžasné přátelství. I když je kniha propagována jako humorné čtení, mě se bohužel, mimo pár okamžiků, zase až tak vtipná nezdála. Věřím ale, že díky tomu, že každý pohlížíme na věci jinak, jsem prostě jen výjimka.

This is a lovely bit of candy floss. Uplifting, happy endings for all.

Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about taking a transformative trip with a handful of your gal pals? (See: me, almost always.) When 73 year old Jen hops on the fast-track to re-marriage with another widower named Eddie, the gals from her aqua aerobics class step in to treat her like the bride of the century. With each woman giving us a different lifestyle (Pam, forever single, Tess, slightly miserable marriage, Della, deeply in love with her hardworking husband, Rose, sheltered widow, and Jen, our bride-to-be) - this book is rife with opportunity to find yourself in one of the women.

With just enough hijinks to keep you on your toes, this book is a delightful, poignant read - one that reminds readers that life doesn't end when you reach a certain age - in fact, it just gets better.

Mix a group of women in their 70s with Paris, men and a drag queen bar and you’ve abandoned the covid 19 quarantine year, if just for a minute. It’s not a literary masterpiece but, dammit, you fell good for about 300 pages.

Cute story about 5 older women discovering themselves and going on incredible adventures.

An easy, fluff book that will leave the reader with a renewed sense of wanderlust.
