Dancing Fish and Ammonites: A Memoir by Penelope Lively

4.0

This eclectic collection of essays spanning the author’s long life is wise, insightful and honest. While not afraid of her approaching demise, Mrs. Lively reviews the past with acceptance and grace. She discusses reading, writing, traveling, and coming to terms with the limitations of aging. One does not need to be acquainted with her own work to enjoy this enlightening collection. Recommended.
