Reader Reviews for Recovering: A Journal: Customer Rating: Summary: I enjoy May, no matter what Comment: I am one of those people who May Sarton speaks to. I have read her books "out of order", but have no trouble adjusting to the period of time she is writing. I actually like Journal of a Solitude the best, followed by Plant Dreaming Deep, but this one was fine. I feel for her.....especially as she grows older, and is alone much of the time. But I have to say, she certainly has many friends, and sees them often, altho' less so in this book. I've only read her journals, but want to get one of the fiction books next. I always recommend May, altho' I know she's not for everyone. Customer Rating: Summary: You Just Can't Go Wrong with Sarton Comment: Reading Sarton is like taking in fresh air! "Recovering" is no exception. Sarton is always an easy read, but you have to be prepared to "FEEL" - she is so open with her emotions and experiences. Sarton cuts right to the core of human experience and emotion in a simple, straight forward way. Although she expresses her grief and losses in a poignent and potent manner, she is not sentimental and "Recovering", like her other works, leaves one with a certian calmness even amid all of the emotional turbulance. "Recovering" also is typically "Sartonian" in that her eye for the beautiful simplicity in nature and the in small details is ever present in this journal.
