content: This book will touch your heart. I rarely ever read a memoir more than once, but this book is an exception. When you're reading it, you can feel yourself transported to the beach. There's a peacefulness that settles over you as Anne Lindbergh talks about shells, and oysters and the sand and sea.Interwoven with the talk about the sea are her observations on life. How modern gadgets complicate life, rather than simplify it. Or how a good relationship is like a dance, where the two partners love so completely, they forget to ask themselves whether they're loved in return.This is a beautiful and inspiring book, which continues to touch your life long after you read it.
