Book Description
Excerpt from Mrs. Fitz-Maurice on Leave Most people I know keep their diaries solemnly and sacredly secret, and say in the introduction that they would die of shyness if any outside eye beheld their confessions. But it seems to me that that is rot, and a great waste of time and labour too. I should not feel shy about mine being read at all. In fact, I should be immensely disappointed if all my friends didn't read it. I may even publish it one day, so I shall try to write it nicely and be careful about the grammar with that end in view. Perhaps I ought to describe myself to begin with. I am twenty-three. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mrs. Fitz "It is snowing," said Mrs. Arbuthnot. "Worse luck!" growled I from behind my newspaper. "This unspeakable climate! Why can't we sack the Clerk of the Weather!" "Because he is a permanent official," said Joseph Jocelyn De Vere Vane-Anstruther, who was coming into the room. "And those are the people who run the benighted country." Joseph Jocelyn De Vere Vane-Anstruther was in rather smart kit. It was December the first, and the hounds - there is only one pack in the United Kingdom - were about to pay an annual visit to the country of a neighbour. With conscious magnificence my relation by marriage took a bee-line to the sideboard. He paused a moment to debate to which of two imperative duties he should give the precedence: i.e. to make his daily report upon the personal appearance of his host, or to find out what there was to eat. The state of the elements enabled Mother Nature "to get a cinch" on an honourable aestheticisim. Jodey began to forage slowly but resolutely among the dish covers.

I Found My Tribe
Author: Ruth Fitzmaurice
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1635571588
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
A transformative, euphoric memoir about finding solace in the unexpected for readers of H is for Hawk, It’s Not Yet Dark, and When Breath Becomes Air. Ruth’s tribe are her lively children and her filmmaker and author husband Simon Fitzmaurice who has ALS and can only communicate with his eyes. Ruth’s other "tribe" are the friends who gather at the cove in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, and regularly throw themselves into the freezing cold water, just for kicks. The Tragic Wives’ Swimming Club, as they jokingly call themselves, meet to cope with the extreme challenges life puts in their way, not to mention the monster waves rolling over the horizon. Swimming is just one of the daily coping strategies as Ruth fights to preserve the strong but now silent connection with her husband. As she tells the story of their marriage, from diagnosis to their long-standing precarious situation, Ruth also charts her passion for swimming in the wild Irish Sea--culminating in a midnight swim under the full moon on her wedding anniversary. An invocation to all of us to love as hard as we can, and live even harder, I Found My Tribe is an urgent and uplifting letter to a husband, family, friends, the natural world, and the brightness of life.
