Keeping On Keeping On by Alan Bennett

A wry, affectionate collection of diaries, essays and reminiscences from later life that blends gentle humor with melancholy as it reflects on ageing, illness, friendship, family and the theatre; vivid snapshots of domestic routines, encounters with carers and medical staff, and elegiac portraits of lost colleagues sit alongside sharp observations of British life, producing a tender, funny and often poignant meditation on memory, mortality and the small consolations that sustain ordinary days.
