240.0 pages. missing dj, shelf wear, name sticker ffep'One of the finest novelists writing in Britain today' Times Magazine A memoir t hat addresses ageing, memory, time and a life in the 20th century, by one of our greatest writers, Penelope Lively.'This is not quite a memoir. Rather, it is th e view from old age. And a view of old age itself, this place at which we arrive with a certain surprise - ambushed, or so it can seem. One of the few advantage s of age is that you can report on it with a certain authority; you are a native now, and know what goes on here.'In this charming but powerful memoir, Penelope Lively reports from beyond the horizon of old age. She describes what old age f eels like for those who have arrived there and considers the implications of thi s new demographic. She looks at the context of a life and times, the history and archaeology that is actually being made as we live out our lives in real time, in her case World War II; post war penny-pinching Britain; the Suez crisis; the Cold War and up to the present day. She examines the tricks and truths of memory . She looks back over a lifetime of reading and writing. And finally she looks a t her identifying cargo of possessions - two ammonites, a cat, a pair of America n ducks and a leaping fish sherd, amongst others. This is an elegant, moving and deeply enjoyable memoir by one of our most loved writers.'Lively's memoir about age and the pleasures and pains of seniority is informative, instructive, unexp ected and beautifully observed' Vogue 'Rich in observations and recollections. I t should be read slowly because there is much to invite reflection' Herald Scotl and 'An elegant and thoughtful dissection of a subject few writers dare dwell on ' Times Magazine. …
