Our most delicate chronicler of physical landscape, Mary Oliver has described her work as loving the world. With Felicity she examines what it means to love another person. She opens our eyes to the territory within our own hearts, to the wild and to the quiet.
This book is filled with joy. Economy of words, simple phrases - they all paint a wise picture of life and love.
