About this listen
'I devoured it.' - NIGELLA LAWSON
'Few people have aged so gracefully and enterprisingly as Prue. How she's done it is a revelation, full of humour and practical advice.' - DELIA SMITH
'Oh my days, this book is an absolute JOY! It is like sitting down with your fabulous, straight-talking auntie who tells it exactly how it is... but with a big cuddle and a glass of something cheeky on the side. - ALISON HAMMOND
'Refreshing, honest and tremendously encouraging for those who are terrified of growing old.'
- ALAN TITCHMARSH
Getting older may have its challenges - but it can be a lot of fun.
In this candid, uplifting, and thoroughly entertaining book, Prue Leith explores the trials and taboos of growing older - along with its unexpected joys. Part memoir and part reflection, Being Old and Learning to Love It is packed with Prue's trademark wit, wisdom, and no-nonsense charm as she takes a spirited canter through the triumphs, trials and tribulations of ageing well.
Sometimes serious, sometimes funny and always engaging, Prue speaks with refreshing honesty about life as a modern woman in her eighties. Nothing is off limits: from love and sex, staying active, and finding fame on The Great British Bake Off, to friendship, family, and the occasional regret. She tackles the big questions we all have about getting older - about senility, time running out, dealing with grief, and her passionate belief in assisted dying - with the same frankness she brings to discussing when to retire, fashion & beauty, travel and gardening.
'We all are heading for old age, if we're lucky. It's a mystery for the young and hard to navigate for many of the elderly. Prue lays it all out for us, in her wonderful, honest, way.' - VIN + OMI©2026 Prue Leith
