内容介绍

获得科斯塔奖的回忆录，讲述变老的意义，与阿瑟尔的大量作品一同再版。

变老是一种怎样的体验？

戴安娜-阿瑟尔以其回忆录中的坦率--用她的话说，她致力于 “理解、觉悟、触摸真相”--而闻名作家界。

在九十多岁时，她摆脱了曾经的禁忌，坦率地反思了老年可能带来的损失和偶尔的收获，以及面对死亡所需的智慧和毅力。

书中充满了各种事件、恋人和友谊，生动地叙述了阿蒂尔生命中充满活力的最后几十年；

这些人和经历让她学会了很少后悔、抵制绝望，并始终质疑同代人的信仰和习俗。

The Costa-award winning memoir on what it means to grow old, reissued alongside Athill's extensive backlist.

What is it like to be old?

Diana Athill made her reputation as a writer with the candour of her memoirs - her commitment,

 in her words, 'to understand, to be aware, to touch the truth'. Written in her nineties, 

when she was free from any inhibitions she may have once had, 

she reflects frankly on the losses and occasionally the gains that old age can bring, and on the wisdom and fortitude required to face death.

A lively narrative filled with events, lovers and friendships, Somewhere Towards the End encapsulates the vibrant final decades of Athill's life; 

the people and experiences that taught her to regret very little, 

to resist despondency and always question the beliefs and customs of your own generation.
