5.0 out of 5 stars What an enlightening book!, 14 Mar 2001
This review is from: Gift from the Sea (Chatto Pocket Library) (Hardcover)
I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this book was written in 1955. Well before the the woman's liberation movement of the seventies. The book contains many aspects of feminism but in an extremely positive light. The author is a housewife with five children who goes on holiday to the sea for a week per year. The book is about her views on the different stages a woman will find herself in during her life and she relates each of these stages to a type of seashell. It is full of many poignant insights about a womans place in the world which you wouldn't have expected from a housewife of the fifties, as it addresses the spiritual aspects of a woman as well as her roles as a wife, mother, friend etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gift for every daughter, 29 Mar 2009
By Mary Bead "Booklover" (West Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gift from the Sea (Chatto Pocket Library) (Hardcover)
I found this book after an extract had been read at a wedding. If only I had been given this book as a teenager all those years ago. In its gentle and beutifully written text there lies reassurance and support, and endorsement for the need of all human beings to have space and time for themselves. I have read and reread this book, finding something new and inspiring each time. It is a tribute to the writer that the text transcends the time at which it was written and holds meaning for the present day. I have made a gift of this book to my daughter along with Return to the Sea: Reflections on Anne Morrow Lindbergh's "Gift from the Sea" a wonderful companion volume.

I can only reiterate what Anne M Johnson writes...

"Gift from The Sea"... I don't think I would say I had merely read it. I had breathed it. I had drawn life from it. I had wrapped myself up in it like an unborn child nestled in a mother's womb.

A worthwhile gift for any daughter.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gift from the Sea (Chatto Pocket Library) (Hardcover)
An iconic book that all women should read. Ageless and timeless and totally relevant. A bookshelf keeper. I'm fortunate enough to live near the sea and get this book out every summer as my companion. What more can you say about a first class book. Love it :)
