<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> A modern-day classic. "Gift from the Sea is like a shell itself in its small and perfect form . . . It tells of light and life and love and the security that lies at the heart".--New York Times Book Review. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b><b>With meditations on youth and age, love and marriage, peace, solitude, and contentment during a brief vacation by the sea, <b> here is Anne Morrow Lindbergh's <b>inimitable classic.</b></b></b></b> <p/> Drawing inspiration from the the shells on the shore, Lindbergh's musings on the shape of a woman's life will bring new understanding to readers, male and family, at any stage of life. A mother of five and professional writer, she casts an unsentimental eye at the trappings of modern life that threaten to overwhelm us -- the timesaving gadgets that complicate our lives, the overcommitments that take us from our families -- and by recording her own thoughts in a brief escape from her everyday demands, she guides her readers to find a space for contemplation and creativity in their own lives. <p/>With great wisdom and insight she describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of a life lived in enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking work when it was first published, this book has retained its freshness as it has been rediscovered by generations of readers and is no less current today. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <i>Gift from the Sea</i> is like a shell itself in its small and perfect form . . .
