Dancing Fish and Ammonites: A Memoir by Penelope Lively

4.0

I set this aside because I was busy and distractible, and nonfiction permits pauses, but I enjoy memoirs by British authors born before World War II; I enjoy Penelope Lively’s writing; and this book was therefore a very good fit for me. It’s an especially useful mentor text for anyone looking to write about their own life, although I’m sure I wouldn’t be as insightful for stylistically polished as Lively is.
