Synopsis:

The words of old people in an English village--a schoolmaster, a miner's mother, soldiers of the First World War, and others--and the words of those charged with their care are shared with the reader in poignant, recorded self-revelations

Review: "True to form, this book is beautifully crafted. The perceptions of ageing gleaned from the aged themselves, illuminate the ageing process both sharply and eloquently. Interspersed with Ronald Blythe's own insights the narrative although grounded in earthly experience, touches the soul and lifts the spirit heavenward.(...) As the ultimate antidote to the plethora of accounts of celebrity lifestyles, this is an absolute must." (Sue Harry Reader, St John's, Lakenham Norwich, Across the Sea, July/August 2005.)
