Natural details true to NH, wonderful ear for the New England cadence. Life has changed... ( ) Published in 1970. I hadn't read a May Sarton book in a while and this seemed pretty dated to me. There didn't seem to be much to counter the dominant voice which was surprisingly essentialist about men & women. Men do this, women do that. Perhaps the characters were supposed to counter the spoken words, with strong women and weak men, but that too seemed a little stereotypical. She writes well, of course, and the stories of the people, particularly the 2 main characters, have a lot of interest. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Spending their first winter away from the city, an aging married couple finds renewed friendship and love in the New Hampshire hills Christina and Cornelius Chapman have spent their summers in Willard for years, shunning the city's hottest months in favor of New Hampshire's rocky, rolling hills. In Willard, Christina looks forward to spending time with Ellen, enjoying forest walks and the easy conversation that come with longstanding friendship. But while Christina and Cornelius move comfortably between country and city, Ellen and her husband, Nick, are bound to Willard--their working-class lives standing in stark contrast to the moneyed effortlessness of their friends. This summer, however, is different. Rather than moving back to the city once fall sets in, the Chapmans have decided to stay. Characters of all sorts populate the New England town, and through their first winter in Willard, narrated in part through Christina's journal entries, the friendship between Christina and Ellen deepens, as does the one between Christina and Cornelius. Beautifully written and warmly rendered, Kinds of Love is a heartfelt portrait of marriage, friendship, class, and aging set against a tranquil, small-town New Hampshire backdrop.
