'Holding On' is a look back on the lessons learned\u003cbr\u003eduring the author's 80 years, reflecting on the morality and complexities of the modern world.\u003cbr\u003eAs the title suggests the author is very aware of his increasingly tenuous hold on life but displays\u003cbr\u003eno bitterness at his approaching end. He evaluates his own life, his experience of love, friendship, and\u003cbr\u003ethe challenges of getting old. A number of humorous ballads are included which hide some moral truths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barrie Purnell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1999366468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781999366469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lime Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Barrie Purnell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742741836031,"sku":"9781999366469","price":6.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_759d3d98-63de-451f-936f-dd8f04255fc8.jpg?v=1782447518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/holding-on-barrie-purnell-9781999366469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
