May Sarton's story begins with her Belgian childhood and her parents - her father, George Sarton, a brilliant historian of science, and her English mother, an artist. In this evocative memoir, she writes of her education at the Shady Hill School in Cambridge, Massachusetts; her apprenticeship at Eva Le Gallienne's Repertory Theatre in New York; and her three-year experiment with a young theatrical company of her own. She also describes world-opening visits to England, where she met Virginia Woolf and others who influenced her; and her embarkation on a writer's life with the appearance of her first book of poems when she was twenty-four.
