the title fool you, suggest a dramatic narrative. It is rather ironic and a little book light-hearted, sincere and charming, written by an English woman born in 1917.
Diana Athill has always worked and lived in the midst of books, publishing, reviewing, presenting.
Finally she decides to write one, telling himself, his life and his old age with great tenderness, with no regrets or remorse, without fear. It is said without false modesty, without giving lessons of wisdom, conveying to the reader his new sense of freedom and his belief that he finally be completely herself. Would like to thank you, write or send her a bouquet of flowers, the gift of optimism and confidence in life than do those who read it.
