Louise Aronson
Elderhood won the WSU AOS Bonner Book Award and the 2022 At Home With Growing Older Impact Award, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction, and was longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. An essential, empathetic look at a vital but often disparaged stage of life, as revelatory as Atul Gawande's Being Mortal.
