This book is a sequel, published nearly 10 years later, on the eve of Asier's 98th birthday. In her room at the Highgate nursing home in London, Diana begins to look back: reflecting on the most significant experiences of her life, and the memories that surface in her mind in her twilight years, sustaining her. With warm and moving prose, she depicts the idyllic pleasures of her grandmother's garden and the wondrous sights she encountered while traveling through Europe in her youth after World War II. As vivid and delicate memories span decades, she candidly recounts her painful experience of miscarriage in her forties, and paints unforgettable images of her friends, writers, and lovers.
