Laced with the experiences and memories of an old man to form his lessons about life 'Granddad?' 'Yes, Kate.' Do all old people die?' In this uplifting and beautifully-written memoir, Tom Nestor recounts conversations with his five-year-old granddaughter, Kate. In their chats and the thoughts prompted by what the inquisitive Kate says or does, Tom - now in his seventies - realises what a sea change has taken place in Ireland in the space of a single generation. He shares his experiences and the wisdom that comes with the perspective of years, hoping to instil in Kate his appreciation of the beauty of the natural world, an understanding of life and relationships, and guidance for how Kate and her generation might cope with life's future trials and tribulations. Tom Nestor sees life with a poet's eye and in Talking to Kate his memories of childhood and his conversations with the precocious and innocent Kate enchant and enlighten. Takes readers into the different and innocent times of both the child and her grandfather. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact.
