The Manicure
Episode 3 of 3
Made redundant from her beauty salon job, Nell restores her self-esteem by joining a walk and talk group. Read by Jane Slavin.
Story series in which writers consider themes of age and ageing. The series title, Above Ground, is inspired by a quote from Carol Shields's novel The Stone Diaries: "Here's to another year and let's hope it's above ground."
In "The Manicure" by Elizabeth Buchan, forty-something Nell puts the disappointments of her life behind her thanks to the encouragement and camaraderie of her Walk And Talk group.
