Seven Houses: A Memoir of Time and Places

Josephine Winslow Johnson

4.9/5 (10553 ratings)

Description:Miss Johnson has taken the houses she lived in, the essential memories of certain times, places and landscapes that mark our lives, as the theme for a book of uncommon power and distinction. Beginning with her mother's family house, and describing with clarity and without any false nostalgia that vanished life of prosperous small-town America, Miss Johnson goes on to write of the homes she has known. In each of them she has observed not only the slow changes of life and her own minutely examined emotions, but also that larger world of nature that has always been her central concern.Seven Houses is a memoir, a confession, a book about the search for one's roots and the "love for land" that is far more deeply rooted than one's own life can be. Like The Inland Island, it is a book that leaves the reader "dazzled with sunlight, ears ringing with birdsong."It is, quite simply, a beautiful and moving experience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
