Notes of Another

Last summer I snagged a book from the Swap Shop at the local dump. I picked it up today and it turns out the previous owner had made notations throughout the book.

The note taker seems to have taken comfort in the words of Joan Anderson the author of A Year by the Sea: Thoughts of an Unfinished Woman. The first half of the book is filled with underlined phrases, arrows and comments. Oddly the notes stop at the ninth chapter, called Fogged In.

I haven't even read the book but skimming it I've dived into the heart and struggles of a local woman as she identifies and notates her own truths.
