Penelope Lively
Winner of the Man Booker Prize
Penelope Lively won Britain's prestigious Booker Prize for this deeply moving, elegantly structured novel.
Elderly, uncompromising Claudia Hampton lies in a London hospital bed with memories of life fluttering through her fading consciousness. An author of popular history, Claudia proclaims she's carrying out her last project: a history of the world. This history turns out to be a mosaic of her life, her own story tangled with those of her brother, her lover and father of her daughter, and the center of her life, Tom, her one great love found and lost in war-torn Egypt.
Always the independent woman, often with contentious relationships, Claudia's personal history is complex and fascinating. As people visit Claudia, they shake and twist the mosaic, changing speed, movement, and voice, to reveal themselves and Claudia's impact on their world.

The book itself is very fine, as the recollections at the end of life of a strong and independent woman who, when gutted by the loss of her great love, becomes yet stronger and more independent in her relations with her family.

Very well written, rather more moving than I expected it to be. I love being surprised like that. Penelope Lively is a new favorite author now.
Makes me wish I had been a reporter in WWII

She is a writer, Tom (we learn late) is a writer, Life is suddenly everywhere, a beautiful miracle, and death also everywhere with its awful, total stillness.
What is the sense of it all? How are we to make sense of it?
Again and even more as i, too, age

Lovely writing, easy to envision the scenes and just an excellent tempo. The narrator does an excellent job, though, at times, I could imagine different inflections that I would have preferred— it just seemed a bit wooden, sometimes, especially with the male voices. But I really appreciated being read to, otherwise I might not have found the time to enjoy this very worthwhile book!
Gorgeous Story
