I have loved all of your memoirs and books but The Hacienda has always stolen my heart. I reread it every year for it’s beauty, strength, and obvious love you had for it . You grew into a woman of substance during this time and a writer who mesmerizes with words and thoughts. You feel like an old friend every time I read it. You choose your words carefully and they convey so very much. Your use of language and description draws me into your world, I thank you for sharing such richness of life and travel.
Beautiful poetic memoir. I want to be there with you. Magical. Thank you for putting into words the things that only the heart can see. I feel privileged to be invited to feel that part of your journey. Thank you for writing the Hacienda.
Question: Are there photo's available of the Hacienda?

ReplyDeleteI like your Great Railway Journeys episode where you try to attempt to get from Santos to Santa Cruz. :)
