The Year of Ninety
About This Novel
What does it mean to grow old when your prime is gone? "Today, I celebrate my ninetieth birthday, but there is still so much to discover." On November 11, 2017, British writer James Ross-Evans celebrated his ninetieth birthday. He decided to write down his life for a year in the form of a diary, recording his daily life and insights at the beginning of the tenth decade of his life. From the inconveniences and ailments brought about by aging, to the daily joy of making chutney, from the pain and memories of the death of a loved one, to my own thoughts on life and death. Ross-Evans' writing is full of wisdom and insight into the details of life, describing daily trivial matters, but with a profound contemplative tone.
