- Synopsis
- May Sarton's ninth novel explores what it means to be a woman and a writer, to have chosen, perhaps to be lonely. Dealing with the question of the sources of a woman's creative impulse, it has struck a responsive chord in an increasing chord in an increasing number of readers. The complexity of human love in its many guises is also Miss Sarton's concern. Hilary Stevens, a formidable personality and poet of reknown, is in her seventies. This singularly uncompromising heroise becomes the quarry of two young reporters whose assignment it is to cover the provenance of Hilary Stevens' poetic insporation. In the course of their interview, Hilary comes to terms with her own past as it has crystallized in a series of encounters with the Muse.
