This book was not quite what I thought it was. The author is a 97-year-old British lady, and I thought this was a book of lessons learned about what's really important in life. Instead, it was a collection of her favorite and most meaningful memories. Most of them were compelling, and I did enjoy her writing.

Lovely musings on aging, books, being alive and dying, written with wit and grace.

Old lady writes another book. Author apparently wrote a book about her life at an old age and became famous, that one I have not read and this is a follow up. It had some ok things to say, but really wasn't that exciting, possibly more famous because she was an old lady.

I read this one because I liked her other so much, but she ends up sounding more like a cantankerous old woman in this one.

I wanted to read this memoir...book of essays...by a 98?-yo because I love memoirs and because I live with a 94-yo. lol
Unfortunately, it was just ok for me. The writing was fine, I just wasn't that interested in what she talked about in the book.
Because she IS a great writer, I want to try some of her other books.
