A Year by the Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman, Joan Anderson
A Year by the Sea was a last minute purchase decision made by my inner old person just wondering if I need some spiritual guidance at some point in my life. You have to admit: the thought of living a year at Cape Cod right by the water is pretty darned entrhalling. I love the water and winter is my favorite season, so having them together in one place means I'd freeze my ass off but the writing possibilities are amazing! The solitude of it could get to me, I suppose, but there's something attractive about having no choice and doing what Joan did: she worked in a fish market, she chopped wood, she had fishermen drop her off at islands for a whole day of sitting there or camping overnight, she did some crabbing. I can't help but think of it as fun. And she was in her fifties, married--just decided that she was going on a year-long vacation.
