Living independently and solo - for some limited duration of time - is part of my fantasy life.

Beautiful. Marriage, divorce, children, feeling the constant pressure of what we “should” be doing, embracing simplicity, and creating new relationships when we think we couldn’t possibly have the time or room. A single life with a million paths - recommend.

I've seen this book a hundred times without realizing that it takes place, in large part, on an island in my very own (adopted) Casco Bay. Shulman has some of the same activist post-mortem feelings that I had after leaving Smith (not that my activism held a candle to hers, or every could), so that aspect of the narrative was compelling. However, what I really loved was the food, whether foraged from the island (chapter two) or toured in Budapest (chapter nine). Hints of Michael Pollan, and Barbara Kingsolver, and all the other foodie types, but years ahead of them.

I had a hard time relating to this woman -- and then at other moments -- I knew exactly what she meant. This is an interesting indulgent memoir of finding self through food and this wonderful world.
