Ammonites and Leaping Fish: A Life in Time by Penelope Lively

4.0

”We can make a choice from accessible memories.” The very conversational tone did bring Lively clearly into a “reading conversation” but perhaps was in need of a bit of pruning: there is a sense, for me, of one of those reconstituted windows of bits of stained glass - a face here, a scroll of text there, a light-filled jumble. However, some interesting insights - the final essay was for me the best, the most engaging.
