What is Aunt Epp's guide for life : miscellaneous musings of a Victorian lady about?

<p>T <i>There is nothing new under the sun, we are told. So your recorded age is irrelevant. You may be seventy and stupid, sixteen and sage. Your true age is unfathomable, as you have been here before and will return again. You may be a thousand years old, or ten thousand, it doesn’t matter. What really matters is not how old but how wise you’ve grown, how far you have evolved, and what you have learned. The great affair is to avoid stagnation, and keep on the move.”</i></p> <p>Elspeth Marr, known as Aunt Epp, was a redoubtable Victorian lady from the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland. Long after she passed away, a descendent discovered boxes of papers and diaries written by Aunt Epp to a young girl, penned over sixty years.</p> <p>Sassy and opinionated, Aunt Epp was not afraid to voice her views and give her advice on topics ranging from adultery to wrinkles, God to genitals. In a time when mentioning such things would have been deemed unladylike and improper, Aunt Epp left nothing unsaid. Full of wit and erudition, not to mention homespun herbal remedies and witty verse, now Aunt Epp’s timeless wisdom is entertaining, surprising, and utterly addictive.</p>
