Synopsis "Recovering: A Journal "

May Sarton's sixty-sixth year, 1978-79, was a difficult time: a cherished relationship came to an end, she had a mastectomy, she fought against depression. But, she writes, When there is personal darkness, when there is a pain to be overcome, when we are forced to renew ourselves against all the odds, the psychic energy required simply to survive has tremendous force. This journal tells how she drew on that force, and how her friendships, her love of the natural world, and her growing audience of devoted readers brought light to the shadows.

Eleanore Marie Sarton (Wondelgem, Bélgica, 1912–York, Estados Unidos, 1995). Poeta, memorialista y escritora, nació en Bélgica de padre belga-estadounidense y madre inglesa; la familia dejó Bélgica después del asesinato del archiduque Francisco Fernando. Autora muy prolífica, escribió poesía, novelas, libros infantiles y una obra de teatro, aunque su gran aportación literaria fueron sin duda sus diarios y memorias. Cosmopolita y políticamente comprometida, los temas que recorren sus obras son la amistad, las relaciones, el envejecimiento, la soledad y los derechos de la mujer.
