Book description
In this treasure of a book, Anna Quindlen, the bestselling novelist and
columnist, reflects on what it takes to 'get a life' - to live deeply
every day and from your own unique self, rather than merely to exist
through your days. Anna Quindlen uses her candid, heart-to-heart voice
to show us how good life really is: 'Life is made of moments, small
pieces of glittering mica in a line stretch of gray cement. It would be
wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as
busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won't happen. We have to
teach ourselves how to live, really live-to love the journey, not the
destination.'But how to live from that perspective? To fully engage in
our days? In this, an unusual and beautiful book, Quindlen guides us
with an understanding that come from knowing how to see the view, the
richness in living. Anna Quindlen is the author of three bestslling
novels, Object Lessons, One True Thing and Black and Blue. Her New York
Times column 'Public and Private' won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992. She is
currently a columnist for Newsweek and lives with her husband and
children in New York.
