readin' it now. i thought it was gonna be all depressing but it ain't at all (the first chapter is real sad though)! lot's o' hikin' as you might expect, but boy did she have to put up with a lot what with her dad (the guy who edited and dated all emily dickinson's poems) bein' a bad alcoholic and guy (god rest his soul) havin' a lot of problems as most of the readers of this board know (drink, losing his sons, just in general bein' highstrung--but he IS (not WAS, still IS) the northeast peakbaggin' champ by a longshot! (though he'd probably not like to be called a "peakbagger")). but when they did have fun, they had a lot. it's a great book about a complicated marriage. the sections on their life at the homestead in vermont is particularly interesting.
all in all, a better book than "good morning, midnight" (though that was a good book as well).
oh yeah, i got a copy at the new england mobile bookfair in newton outside boston. they had about 5 copies.
