Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Read it -- it will be one of your happiest discoveries

'Quietly powerful and a great help. Glorious' Emma Thompson 
 
'Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.' 
 
Holidaying by the sea, and taking inspiration from the shells she finds on the seashore, Anne Morrow Lindbergh meditates on youth and age, love and marriage, peace, solitude and contentment. First published in 1955 and an instant bestseller, Gift from the Sea's insights – into aspects of the modern world that threaten to overwhelm us, the complications of technology, the ever multiplying commitments that take us from our families - are as relevant today as they ever were, perhaps even more so.
