1978-79 wasn’t a good year for May Sarton, including as it did a mastectomy and the increasing dementia of her friend Judy Matlack. This volume of her diaries is as honest and intimate as her readers would expect, and chronicles the ups and downs of those months. Essential reading for her fans but the book could also be an introduction to her writing and thinking and I found it an interesting and compelling read.
