Book Reviews of Gift from the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition
Book Review: What an enlightening book!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
