Zusatztext “In burnished, exquisite prose, Browning describes her feelings of being set adrift until she gradually transforms her helter-skelter days into a deliberate, contemplative way of life.”— The Boston Globe   "The triumph of spirit over circumstance... I will return... to Browning’s sublime account of what she calls 'the intertidal years.'"— The New York Times   “ A compelling and often funny addition to that burgeoning literary subset of autobiography: namely, women's memoirs about being knocked down in midlife and, painfully, arthritically, figuring out a way to get up again.”—NPR   “How Dominique learned to slow down in her life… the perfect gift for any woman who's recently lost a job.”— The Washington Post Informationen zum Autor Dominique Browning is a writer, editor, publishing consultant, and the author of two previous nonfiction books. A classically trained pianist and the mother of two sons, she lives in New York and Rhode Island. Klappentext "In burnished, exquisite prose, Browning describes her feelings of being set adrift until she gradually transforms her helter-skelter days into a deliberate, contemplative way of life." -The Boston Globe In late 2007, Dominique Browning, the editor-in-chief of Conde Nast's House & Garden, was informed that the magazine had folded-and she was out of a job. Suddenly divested of the income and sense of purpose that had driven her for most of her adult life, Browning panicked. But freed of the incessant pressure to multi-task and perform, she unexpectedly discovered a more meaningful way to live. Browning's witty and thoughtful memoir has already touched a chord with reviewers and readers alike. While untold millions are feeling the stress of modern life, Slow Love eloquently reminds us to appreciate what we have-a timely message that we all need to hear.
