We all age differently, some stoically, some angrily, some calmly, some with an unfailing spirit of adventure and an undimmed curiosity. From one of our finest literary voices, this book is a collection of essays, stories and memoir that traverses the experience of growing older and looking back on a life deeply lived. Drawing on decades of reading, writing and observation, Margaret Drabble reflects on the complex business of ageing, the strange workings of memory - its wonders and its fragility - and on the 'great good places', the childhood homes, coastal sanctuaries and cherished libraries that shape who we are. Rich with a lifetime's worth of insight and wisdom and peppered with Drabble's trademark lucidity and wit, this volume is an elegantly layered and profoundly moving meditation on time, place and the enduring power of recollection.
