Publisher Description
"In burnished, exquisite prose, Browning describes her feelings of being set adrift until she gradually transforms her helter-skelter days into a deliberate, contemplative way of life." -The Boston Globe
In late 2007, Dominique Browning, the editor-in-chief of Conde Nast's House & Garden, was informed that the magazine had folded-and she was out of a job. Suddenly divested of the income and sense of purpose that had driven her for most of her adult life, Browning panicked. But freed of the incessant pressure to multi-task and perform, she unexpectedly discovered a more meaningful way to live.
Browning's witty and thoughtful memoir has already touched a chord with reviewers and readers alike. While untold millions are feeling the stress of modern life, Slow Love eloquently reminds us to appreciate what we have-a timely message that we all need to hear.
Customer Reviews
Slow Love
I read this book through in one sitting on a glorious September day when I should have been outside. No chance: I couldn't put it down. The next day, I read it again. Dominique Browning is a funny, profound, lyrical writer -with so much humanity and wisdom that she makes you wish you lived next door to her. Awesome writer! Awesome book!
