WINNER OF THE COSTA BIOGRAPHY PRIZE, the moving and witty memoir on what it means to grow old.
Written in her nineties, when she was free from any inhibitions she may have once had, Diana Athill reflects frankly on the losses and occasionally the gains that old age can bring, and on the wisdom and fortitude required to face death.
Lively, fearless and humorous, Somewhere Towards the End encapsulates the vibrant final decades of Athill’s life. Filled with events, love and friendships, this is a memoir about maintaining hope, joy and vigour in later life, resisting regret, and questioning the beliefs and customs of your own generation.
