Book Synopsis“An invitation to sit a spell with an intractable and witty friend.” —
New York Times Book ReviewTrade Review"Like Athill’s favorite paintings, her essays ‘make you see, when you leave their presence, that everything has become more alive.'" -- Laura Miller - Salon
"Witty, candid…If you haven’t read Athill, and open her latest book expecting serene reflections from a nonagenarian sipping tea in her garden, you’re in for a surprise." -- Carmela Ciuraru - San Francisco Chronicle
"Enchanting…Diana Athill, 98, still has a few things to teach us about growing old with dignity and humor and grace…Astute and sparkling." -- Ann Levin - Associated Press
"So beautifully written and exquisitely detailed…[Athill] mines her memories of a life well-lived and generously lays them out on the page for the rest of the world to enjoy." -- Meganne Fabrega - Star Tribune
"Moving and always engaging…The sheer candour with which she writes and the overwhelming sense of a life fully lived are both quite marvelous." -- The Bookseller
