Product Information
What is it like to be old? Now in her ninetieth year Diana Athill reflects candidly on the condition of being old - the losses and occasionally the gains that old age brings, and on the wisdom and fortitude required to face death. This is a lively narrative of events, lovers and friendships.
Pages have plenty of marks from having previously been stored in damp conditions, page edges brown as very often with older cheap books. Still perfectly readable.
Fascinating insight to the mind of a working woman of the 20th Century towards the later years of her life. She died this year at 101. Andre Deutch’s editor from the first.
