Looking toward sunset
Lydia Maria Child
Old age deserved a book of its own, and Lydia Maria Child made it a beautiful one. Looking Toward Sunset gathers essays, stories, and verse on aging well: the good old grandmother, Zschokke's consolations of age, Holmes's dreaming old man, a Russian lady of the old school. An anthology to grow old alongside. For the sunset years, and everyone approaching them.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
