An Unknown Woman by Alice Koller became best seller, but to me it was just a pivotal book that I enjoyed immensely.
Interestingly, I ‘discovered’ it when it was sitting atop a stack of books in a bedroom in a decorating magazine. I liked the room, and became curious about occupant, so pulled out my magnifying glass and copied down the title and author. Bizarre but true.
Her story of selling everything, getting a dog and hiking up in a cabin on the beach in Maine in the winter appealed. *
I was thinking of the book today, on International Women’s Day, and looked to see if it was on Audible, sadly not. Though I probably have a copy around here somewhere ...,
In the process,I discovered that she passed away in 2020. Alice Koller dead at 94 - New York Times
*As a side note, I also enjoyed May Sarton’s Journal of Solitude, penned in a similar setting.
