The house May Sarton bought a decade ago in Nelson, N. H., was built in the 18th century; many people had lived in it before she did. But to judge by what she has written in a sensitive, luminous book...the house reflects her tastes and style now-immaculate and orderly, traditional, with overtones of grace and charm...Love is the genius of this small, but tender and often poignant, book by a woman of many insights.
