Plant Dreaming Deep
Plant Dreaming Deep: A Journal | May Sarton
9 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
After a peripatetic life, forty-five-year-old May Sarton longed to put down roots and found them in New Hampshire in the form of a dilapidated eighteenth-century farmhouse with good bones . . . It was the realization of a dream that had been a long time coming In Plant Dreaming Deep, Sarton shares an intensely personal account of transforming a house into a home. She begins with an introduction to the enchanting village of Nelson, where she first meets her house. Sarton finds she must dream the house alive inside herself before taking the major step of signing the deed. She paints the walls white in order to catch the light and searches for the precise shade of yellow for the kitchen floor. She discovers peace and beauty in solitude, whether she is toiling in the garden or writing at her desk. This is a loving, beautifully crafted memoir illuminated by themes of friendship, love, nature, and the struggles of the creative life. This ebook features an extended biography of May Sarton.

These are my #NutsinMay reads! The Sarton is a reread. If you‘ve never read it I can‘t recommend it enough. A luminous memoir, beautifully told. Very comforting at this time and place in our planet‘s saga.

Progress? Welllll . . . I hope to have some to report later! 😉 @Andrew65

Andrew65 Good luck 😊👍 4y

This is a lovely book. I've always been a sucker for stories about women who buy and restore an old home and this one did not disappoint. This also was a very peaceful book which was particularly nice right now.

This type of book has to be my favorite, when I can become intimate, through her insight and revelations, beautifully shared, with another woman who seems so much like me. Eloquent memoirists must be a special kind of breed of person to which I belong. They say so much of what I can relate to about life and seem to know exactly how I am feeling. I feel less alone in the world by reading their books. I definitely need to read all of hers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bklover Lovely review! 6y

But as time goes on we not only remember specific things in relation to the people we have loved; their lives get built into our lives and finally the transference is complete.
