The Letter is Q for Quote and Quindlen
I have just finished reading Miller's Valley
by Anna Quindlen
I have a feeling that I have used Quindlen before
in my search for ABC Wednesday's quirkiest letter
but Miller's Valley did not exist then,
although many of Anna Quindlen's other books
had delighted me.
An American author, journalist and opinion columnist
I first discovered her when I read
"A Short Guide to a Happy Life"
and she says of her writing that it is always about families,
they being the metaphor of all of living.
And it is so with Miller's Valley.
Read it if you can, - you will love it!!
As to one of her quotes...
"Think of Life as a terminal illness,
because if you do you will live
it with joy and passion,
as it ought to be lived".
More interesting Qs here at ABC Wednesday...
