She wrote & lived with dignity. That's what I admire most on this book. It's so easy for journal/memoir writing to go down the self pity, rage and anger way; some of my own journal writing will be a perfect examples of it; also Joan Didion's [b:Blue Nights|10252302|Blue Nights|Joan Didion|http://d20...
I had been so looking forward to this book, but I was the tiniest bit disappointed in it. Seemed to be a lot of whining...just like me....
May Sarton is getting on in her years and living with her choices to live a mostly solitary existence and write. Her reflections on her work, art, and her garden are more than enough to make me want to go out and find the other things she has written.
