Description
At 100 years old, Diana Athill reflects on what matters most in life. From her childhood garden to her experiences of two world wars, she shares vivid memories and candid reflections on growing older. In this remarkable collection of essays, Athill writes about the moments that have sustained her in her later years, including a pregnancy at 43 and a near-death experience. With humour, clarity, and honesty, she explores what it means to be in one's nineties. This book is a poignant reminder that joy and richness can be found at every stage of life, even in the final years.
