Synopses & Reviews
In November 2007, former editor in chief of House & Garden magazine Dominique Browning experienced what thousands have since experienced. She lost her job. Overnight, her driven, purpose-filled days vanished. With her children leaving home and a long relationship ending, the structure of her days disappeared. She fell into a panic of loss but found humor despite everything, discovering a deeper joy than any she had ever known. It was a life she had not sought, but one that offered pleasures and surprises she didn't know she lacked.
Slow Love is about wearing your pajamas to the farmers' market, packing up a beloved home and moving to a more rural setting, making time to play the piano and go kayaking, reinventing yourself, and not cutting corners when it comes to love, muffins, or gardening. This elegant, graceful--and yet funny--book inspires us to dance in the kitchen and seize new directions.
Review
Starred Review. There is such feeling and care on each page of Browning's well-honed memoir—her rediscovery of nature, her avowal to let love find her rather than seek it, tapping satisfying work at her own keyboard—that the reader is swept along in a pleasant mood of transcendence.
Review
If you read one book, make it Slow Love' advice we could all use, regardless of whether we"re gainfully employed!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. ' There"s a lovely 'thinking out loud" quality to Slow Lovethat makes the reader privy to Browning"s soul. -- Judy Bolton-Fasman
