Astercote - Penelope Lively

This is the Fifty-fourth in my one-book-at-a-time bookshelf.

In Astercote, Penelope Lively's first book, we see the blending of the old and the new that characterized her works. The new has an authentic, contemporary crispness that provides a backdrop for the memories of older times. I particularly like the very 70's cover art on this copy.
