One Long River of Song: Notes on Wonder by Brian Doyle

5.0

I don't tend to reach for essays very often, but this book was so meaningful to the spouse of one of the members of my book club that he bought each of us a copy for Christmas! I am so glad he did. I was not familiar with this author. This collection of his essays was curated by friends and associates after the author was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Doyle had an amazing sense of wonder. His curiosity about the world and willingness to find beauty in all things is truly inspiring. His essays made me want to be more curious, more observant, and more open to the world around me. They also made me want to try my hand at writing personal essays. This book is just overall inspiring!
