A New Kind of Country

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.
