Ammonites and Leaping Fish: A Life in Time by Penelope Lively
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
4.5
A fantastic memoir-type book with thought-provoking insights on time and death. I was particularly piqued by her insights on the role of social narratives and history in our personal lives.
While it isn’t necessarily ground-breaking from a philosophical standpoint, I really enjoyed these musing and teachings from Lively. I had truthfully never heard of the author before picking up this book at my library, so I have no context around her previous novels and writings.
This is an accessibly written read for the general public and a good reminder of our own mortality.
