Book Review of A Year by the Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman

A Year by the Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman
reviewed on + 334 more book reviews


The author, a married 50-year-old woman, takes a year off to spend alone by the sea, to rediscover herself and her goals. Like lots of women, she had neglected herself in the vision of putting her husband and family first, but becoming an "unfinished woman" in the process. Her year apart brought a treasure of insights and changes. I have listed the sequel to this book as well, "An Unfinished Marriage," which chronicles the beautiful way that the author and her husband came to new terms and fulfillment.
