When Wanderers Cease to Roam by Vivian Swift

While reading Publishers Weekly recently, I came across an article written by Nancy Pearl, librarian extraordinaire, in which she lists memoirs by people you ought to meet. I chose the above title merely because the setting is Long Island Sound. I was not disappointed and very much pleased with the read. Reading Ms. Swift's book is much like reading someone's diary. It is a delightful escape, ordered by the months of the year and interspersed with lovely watercolors throughout. She often mentions her cats, enjoying cups of tea and the various inhabitants of the small town where she has decided to settle. I took my time reading this book and was sorely disappointed when it came to an end. I hope the rest of the memoirs on Ms. Pearl's list give me the same satisfaction. Ladybookbug!
