A Reading Life
Dear Reader….
The books gathered here are less about plot than about place—woods and houses, interiors and crossings, memory and return. I am drawn to stories that move slowly, that notice landscape, inheritance, women’s inner lives, and the ways we carry our histories with us.
My reading life has unfolded alongside travel and resettling—books packed into suitcases, discovered in unfamiliar bookstores, read in borrowed houses and long afternoons. Over time, certain themes return: belonging, reinvention, the pull of home, the quiet reckoning that comes with living a life fully observed.
These are books I have lived with. Some have shaped my writing, others my seeing. Many appear quietly in my blog posts, referenced rather than reviewed, woven into the larger story I am telling here.
Consider this a shelf, not a syllabus.
A place to linger.
Warmly,
Jeanne
