Wisdom, grace and old world charm

This is a great book about what it's like to be older, not a terribly popular subject nowadays. This great man of letters, who could write like no other, describes his life after the passing of his wife. Now you really have to read this on Martha's Vineyard, where time ticks a little slower, where moments are savored a little more. Because all this book is in the details, the attentiveness to details. No grand statements, but gentle, keen observation of life that will really get under your skin if you allow it to. If you love dogs, this book will give you a subtle increase in the camaraderie of human/canine relationships. HBH is a man who is truly civilized, in that he lacks that spirit of selfishness and ego so prevalent today. A small forgotten masterpiece.
