May Sarton's celebrations in this book center around the friendships that flowered in her life from age twenty-six to age forty-five-between the end of I Knew a Phoenix and the beginning of Plant Dreaming Deep. Her subjects include her father, the noted science historian George Sarton; people in the arts-Elizabeth Bowen, Louise Brogan, Jean Dominique; and people who lived lives remote from the center-Marc, the vigneron of Satigny, in the foothills of the Jura mountains, and Quig, the painter of Nelson, New Hampshire.
