Gift From The Sea
Anne Morrow LindberghDrawing inspiration from the shells on the shore, Lindbergh's musings on the shape of a woman's life will bring new understanding to readers, male and family, at any stage of life. A mother of five and professional writer, she casts an unsentimental eye on the trappings of modern life that threaten to overwhelm us - the timesaving gadgets that complicate our lives, the over-commitments that take us from our families - and by recording her own thoughts in a brief escape from her everyday demands, she guides her readers to find a space for contemplation and creativity in their own lives. With great wisdom and insight, she describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of a life lived in enduring and evolving partnership.
Over a quarter of a century after its first publication, this groundbreaking work has retained its freshness as it has been rediscovered by generations of readers and is no less current today with its simple wisdom which continues to influence women's lives.
