Afterword by the author, Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Anne Morrow Lindbergh, author, poet, aviator, and spouse of Charles Lindbergh wrote this inspirational book in 1955 while vacationing on Florida's Captiva Island, it stands as a seminal work in feminist literature. While gathering shells on the beach, Lindbergh drew inspiration and wrote this essay-style book reflecting on the lives of Americans, particularly American women, in the mid-twentieth century. She shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment. Her book is a forerunner and presages many of the themes in that genre of popular literature: simplicity, solitude and caring for the soul. Gift from the Sea has sold over 3 million copies and has been translated into 45 languages. A fascinating, talented woman with a fascinating, creative life in her own right, she passed away at the age of 94 in 2001 after a series of strokes. Well-worth reading.
