Cited in HOW TO AGE I’m a Sarton fan & still plan to read all her books.I relate to much of her life perspective & the journal includes gems of wisdom. But, her behavior during this year bothered me. She seemed to lack insight into her actions, doing the same things over and over that bothered her & then complaining about it. Guess she was honest but I wanted to pull her aside & say: “Why do you keep this up?” Aging happens but in our minds and our bodies the aging takes place differently. This is a journey with a avibrant, head strong woman. She taught me that being selfish is not necessarily a bad thing. It can be a powerful tool for self discovery, longevity and productivity. Her prose is fine and the walks down her lane everyday remain in my heart. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Winner of the American Book Award: May Sarton's honest and engrossing journal of her seventieth year, spent living and working on the Maine coast. May Sarton's journals are a captivating look at a rich artistic life. In this, her ode to aging, she savors the daily pleasures of tending to her garden, caring for her dogs, and entertaining guests at her beloved Maine home by the sea. Her reminiscences are raw, and her observations are infused with the poetic candor for which Sarton--over the course of her decades-long career--became known. An enlightening glimpse into a time--the early 1980s--and an age, At Seventy is at once specific and universal, providing a unique window into septuagenarian life that readers of all generations will enjoy. At times mournful and at others hopeful, this is a beautiful memoir of the year in which Sarton, looking back on it all, could proclaim, "I am more myself than I have ever been."
