A review by littletaiko
The Lemon Table by Julian Barnes

4.0

Julian Barnes is one of my favorite authors and this collection of short stories did not disappoint. There are 11 stories that deal with aging and coming to terms with the last phase of your life in a very honest, at times bittersweet, and at times amusing ways. The only strange part was that there were a few instance where the characters were in their 60's and thinking that life was over. Granted some of the stories weren't set in modern times so I guess they could have been right. Just hard to reconcile with all the vibrant 60+ people that I know.
