Sinossi
'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.

At age 70, she learned Greek so she could interpret the New Testament herself. She began to write Let Evening Come after an Episcopal priest asked her to give a talk on ageing. Mary Morrison died in 2003. She is survived by three children, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
