"I didn't want it to be a book that made pronouncements."

Want

Quote_1.png
Penelope Lively
"There's a preoccupation with memory and the operation of memory and a rather rapacious interest in history."

History

Quote_1.png
Penelope Lively
"I'm not an historian and I'm not wanting to write about how I perceive the social change over the century as a historian, but as somebody who's walked through it and whose life has been dictated by it too, as all our lives are."

Change

Now

Penelope Lively

Choice

Quote_1.png
Penelope Lively

Fiction

Quote_1.png
Penelope Lively

History

Quote_1.png
Penelope Lively

Family

Quote_1.png
Penelope Lively
"I'm not an historian but I can get interested - obsessively interested - with any aspect of the past, whether it's palaeontology or archaeology or the very recent past."

Past

Quote_1.png
Penelope Lively
"I have long been interested in landscape history, and when younger and more robust I used to do much tramping of the English landscape in search of ancient field systems, drove roads, indications of prehistoric settlement."
