Ammonites and Leaping Fish: A Life in Time

Penelope Lively

A memoir that addresses ageing, memory, time and a life in the 20th century, by one of our greatest writers, Penelope Lively

In this powerful and compelling ‘view from old age’, Penelope Lively, at eighty, reports back on what she finds. There are meditations on what it is like to be old as well as on how memory shapes us. There are intriguing examinations of key personal as well as historical moments she has lived through and her thoughts on her own bookishness - both as reader and writer. Lastly, she turns to six treasured possessions to speak eloquently about who she is and where she’s been - fragments of memories from a life well lived.
