<p><b>'There aren't many chroniclers of our older years who do it so well, with such wit and realism and intelligence' </b>TESSA HADLEY<br><b>'I have learned so much from Margaret Drabble's work' </b>SALLY ROONEY<br><b>'Wise, elegiac' </b><i>The Times</i><br><b>'One of Britain's most dazzling writers' </b><i>New York Times</i><br><b>'Generous, perceptive and good-humoured' </b>JOAN BAKEWELL<br><b>'One of the most thought-provoking and intellectually challenging writers around' </b><i>Financial Times</i><br><br><i>We all age differently, some stoically, some angrily, some calmly, some with an unfailing spirit of adventure and an undimmed curiosity</i><br><br>From one of our finest literary voices, <i>The Great Good Places</i> is a luminous collection of essays, stories and memoir that traverses the experience of growing older and looking back on a life deeply lived.<br><br>Drawing on decades of reading, writing and observation, Margaret Drabble reflects on the complex business of ageing, the strange workings of memory - its wonders and its fragility - and on the 'great good places', the childhood homes, coastal sanctuaries and cherished libraries that shape who we are.<br><br>Rich with a lifetime's worth of insight and wisdom and peppered with Drabble's trademark lucidity and wit, <i>The Great Good Places</i> is an elegantly layered and profoundly moving meditation on time, place and the enduring power of recollection.</p>
