Chronicle To Books Sixpence in Her Shoe

I really really like this book; it came to me when I was mother of several small children who took all my time and efforts and while I was feeling sorry for myself because fulltime motherhood wasn't something you get compliments every day for doing. (more like, You have HOW many children? You must be really busy, you must be crazy, you must be a saint, how can you possibly do that, I could never do it, I'm so glad I only have... number of children, and how can you possibly homeschool (same list of responses plus, but what about their socialization, algebra, sports, the prom), how can you stand to be with your children all day every day?

And my personal favorite: If I had your children, it would be wonderful, I could do it then.

I want to become a writer but must patiently and lovingly and happily enjoy the years of care for small and midsized and large children before I could ever devote long hours to writing. It's possible that by that time I may decide to do something other than write. But this book encouraged me to feel that life, a good life, a wholesome and helpful life, is possible, is a good goal, without planning on perfection.

Weigh Up Out Of Books Sixpence in Her Shoe

Charming writing, most of it very cogent and interesting, if dated. Nice "wallowing in domesticity" book, which I like to do/read occasionally. The author and I have ideological differences regarding feminism and the roles of women, etc., plus the book is almost painfully middle-class, but still a nice read.

This book would be considered too old-fashioned by most people. Yet McGinley writes engagingly of a woman's call to take care of her home and family.

Sixpence in Her Shoe was first published in 1960. I own a very old copy which I bought from a secondhand bookseller. The author Phyllis McGinely is a pulitzer price winner. It is this fact that motivated me to buy the present novel. It is also non-fiction. The writer has written mostly about her experiences as a housewife. She touches on diverse topics which may be considered ubsurd by todays modern women. For instance, according to her being a housewife is the oldest profession in tge planet.



i found this book in a sale. dilapidated. but it was such a gem. i was glad i read it when i was 20 before ihad 4 children. phyllis has been a constant companion and coach. from her introduction up to the recipes.

way old fashioned, but still enjoyable for us stay-at-home Moms
