I sometimes wonder if we were to be consistently aware of the impermanence of things that surround us, would that have a bearing on our interactions with others. In particular, with our loved ones. Would we be more perceptive and considerate than we usually are while holding their presence and taking their support for granted.

If the authors are serious, this is a silly, distasteful book. If they are not, it’s a brilliant satire. September in Norway might be one of the best months to visit the country. It’s often still warm enough for a general traveler, with mild temperatures and sunny weather. Iyer clearly revels in these cohabitations. As he says of his chosen country: “We cherish things, Japan has always known, precisely because they cannot last; it’s their frailty that adds sweetness to their beauty… Autumn poses the question we all have to live with: How to hold on to the things we love even though we know that we and they are dying. How to see the world as it is, yet find light within that truth.”I’ve also written about what to do in our home county of Devon this Autumn if you are visiting the area.

There’s not much plot to speak of here. There is one quote that I love so much. “A little like Japan itself in its post-war decades, we'd stumbled out of the lives we planned, with nothing definite to step into." To me this quote is quite relatable and it can be applied to everyone who have gone through life changing event or to everyone who are not knowing where to go next. Skip the bland chains, London is brimming with fancy cinemas where you can snuggle up to watch a film in comfort (not to mention style).Containing the most muted and toned-down of the Summer family’s colours, individuals who fall into the Soft Autumn category may very easily be mistaken for Soft Summers.
