Reviews
On Apr 23 2014, a reader said:
Penelope Lively gets "Old Age" (being 80) exactly right, and I am, alas, in a position to know. Her section on Reading made me think I had found a kindred soul. Her book, and the memorable section on Six Things, precious mementos, is now part of my library and one of my precious things.
