MWA GRANDMASTER

A New Kind of Country

Published in 1978

This thought to be an autobiographical book about Ms. Gilman. After her divorce she decides to move to Nova Scotia and describes her transition from raising two children to living alone and enjoying it. This book gets into a lot of philosophy. Kind of a slow read in some places but on the whole you get a sense of where the characters in her books come from.

I got bored with how the old site looked and decided to create this new one. I hope you like it and will participate in the blog discussions as well as add new content when you come across something interesting. Over the next 2 or 3 days I will be tweaking the site until I get all of the old information as well as adding some new content. Thanks for your patience and I look forward to hearing from all the Dorothy Gilman Fans!

If you want to participate and help me add more content please email me at jolene@mrspollifax.com and I will set you up as a contributor.
