@drchrism.bsky.social is this what's meant by passive aggressive?

Just finished That Beautiful Atlantic Waltz, a truly sensitive read, gorgeous, and didn't expect that ending ๐Ÿณ At my age, though, I was a bit alarmed to find that the 'old man' referred to in the blurb was only 62 - bet that was written by the publisher, not Malachy himself!
