RAMM Gallery 20

Dame Penelope Lively’s most recent book, the best-selling Ammonites & Leaping Fish: A Life in Time, brings her characteristic shrewdness, humour and wisdom to bear on being eighty, memory, her own life and times, reading and writing and, from the context of her house, “six of the objects that articulate something of who I am”.

In conversation with the Exeter-based poet Lawrence Sail, whose 2013 collection of essays The Key to Clover has affinities of theme and approach, she discusses “the view from old age”.
