Let Evening Come

Mary C. Morrison

'Incredibly wise comforting and beautiful' - Joanna Lumley

It is never too soon to start thinking about old age. In Let Evening Come Mary C. Morrison herself eighty-seven at the time of first publication considers the gains and losses of the ageing process in all their depth and richness. She writes about old age from her own personal experience describing without sentimentality or despair how it actually feels to grow old to be old to look back over life to look forward to death. In a series of meditative passages and journal entries she presents old age as a time that calls for gallantry and courage but one that also offers unique opportunities for inner growth and wisdom.

Let Evening Come is a remarkable book; simply but elegantly written it is both moving and uplifting. It is not only for those standing on the edge of old age it is for people of all ages and once read will be recommended to others for the very special pleasures found within its pages.
