Wrapping things up with May Sarton this weekend. I enjoy her flowery descriptions on everything from gardening to aging to weekending.

Mrs. Stevens Hears the Mermaids Singing: A Novel
I'm on a short road trip to visit my mother who is (temporarily) in a nursing home and so my reading journey with The House by the Sea begins...
I bought a used copy of May Sarton's The House by the Sea for this week's reading.
I love May Sarton's journals. Came across them in the library quite by accident during a particularly hard winter when I was living in Canada. This is the journal she kept after moving to Maine. She pays close attention to the details of life and nature that most people overlook, and for readers dealing with grief or depression, reading the kind of writing that slows down to pay attention can be a balm. #homebythesea #rockinmay @Cinfhen
Read this many years ago and remains one of my favourite books about the #sea

Flying to the fabulous Newburyport Literary Festival near Boston and reading May Sarton's beautifully written memoirs up in the air, looking forward to seeing the sea!
