Carole Patullo Bücher

Western women over fifty are a revolutionary generation. They are the first in history to have been in paid work for most of their lives. The power and freedom of this financial independence is unprecedented. But this financial transformation is not equally enjoyed. Jane Caro investigates what predisposes some women to succeed and others to fall.

It's just a little disc. A useful, beautiful thing... it holds us together. Two women live alone but side by side. One day they meet over a jar of buttons and an awkward friendship begins... Poignant and funny, Button is about an awkward friendship, longing, life, death and the living in between.
