My companion into old age.
Sun, 28 Aug 2022 | Review
by: Elizabeth D.
Very movingly Helen Luke explores the great mystery of old age through looking at four great literary texts and sharing her thoughts and discoveries. It has helped me to embark on a process letting go of much of what has given my life structure so far. Now it's about venturing forward into the unknown with humility, reverence and love. It's a rich experience.
