Like Athills favorite paintings, her essays make you see, when you leave their presence, that everything has become more alive.'Witty, candid&If you havent read Athill, and open her latest book expecting serene reflections from a nonagenarian sipping tea in her garden, youre in for a surprise.Enchanting&Diana Athill, 98, still has a few things to teach us about growing old with dignity and humor and grace&Astute and sparkling.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.Moving and always engaging&The sheer candour with which she writes and the overwhelming sense of a life fully lived are both quite marvelous.An invitation to sit a spell with an intractable and witty friend.
