We shall go on by the light of our hearts.

Happiness is growth in peace

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

A page from my reading journal.

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.

This was my first exposure to May Sarton‘s work and it was delightful. Sarton writes of her parents‘ backgrounds before delving into memories of her childhood and school days and wraps up with her early career in the theater. Her writing is so lovely and I will definitely seek out more of her works.

Brett and Poppy have been happily married for 27 years. At least that‘s what Brett and the couple‘s best friend, Philip, thought. That is until Poppy decides she‘s had it and wants a divorce. Everyone in the family deals with the impending divorce in very different ways. But, no one takes it quite as hard as Philip. If you like books that are introspective, then May Sarton is an author you may enjoy. Her books always give me lots to ponder.
