Product Description
Review
This journal is not only rich in the love of nature and the love of solitude. It is an honorable confession of the writer's faults, fears, sadness, and disappointments. . . . On the surface, "Journal of a Solitude" is a quiet book, but if you will read it carefully you will be aware of violent needs and a valiant warrior who has battled every inch of the way to a share of serenity. This is a beautiful book, wise and warm within its solitude.--Eugenia Thornton

soothing reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Journal Of A Solitude (Paperback)
reading this book was like meditation for me. She is a wonderful writer. I keep her journals close to my bed. If I've had a particularly stressful day I will pick up her journal and start reading. Like a Matisse painting, her words are "mental rest for the weary."

touching the soul,
By gatazul@aol.com (City of Angels) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journal Of A Solitude (Paperback)
I keep this book with me throughout my life. I first read it quite a few years ago, and felt it touch truths that I didn't dare go near previously. Thank you, Ms. Sarton, for sharing your world, for daring to articulate what really goes on in the mind. Everyone should give it a shot, and maybe another because its different each time I read her words. Sometimes I'm receptive, sometimes not; after all, we are all reading through our own lens.

An intriguing introduction to Sarton,
By A Customer
This review is from: Journal Of A Solitude (Paperback)
The first of Sarton's Jornals, this one introduces the readers to the players -- both human and animal -- that make return appearances in her subsequent journals. In these pages, Sarton provides us with a view of one who looks closely at the everyday. She examines larger themes as well creating a journal that speaks plainly of the seasons and the cycles of life.
