书籍简介

科斯塔传记奖得主，关于变老意味着什么的感人而诙谐的回忆录。

黛安娜·阿希尔是在九十多岁的时候写这篇文章的，那时她已经摆脱了以往的束缚，她坦率地反思了老年可能带来的失去，偶尔也有收获，以及面对死亡所需要的智慧和毅力。

《暮色将尽》生动、无畏、幽默，浓缩了阿希尔末后几十年充满活力的生活。这是一本关于在晚年生活中保持希望、快乐和活力的回忆录，充满了事件、爱情和友谊，抵制遗憾，质疑自己那一代人的信奉和习俗。

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.
