About this title

Review:

Sarton demonstrates that old age can be a vibrant and liberating experience in which one possesses 'the freedom to be absurd, the freedom to forget things . . . the freedom to be eccentric.' [An] engrossing daily journal.

Vibrancy and abundant love of life. . . . [Sarton] proves once more to be wonderful company.--Andrea Barrett

For decades May Sarton's has been a major voice in autobiographical literature. . . . [Her journals] have broken fresh ground for the experience of women and the battle with age.--Rockwell Gray

[Sarton's] many admirers will cherish [Encore] as the still-strong voice of an intelligent, honest, perceptive, and compassionate human being.--Barbara Duree
