Sarah Wasserman’s Reviews > Always, Rachel: The Letters of Rachel Carson and Dorothy Freeman 1952-64-The Story of a Remarkable Friendship > Status Update

I am having a lot of feelings. not surprising. but. it hurts.

I am amazed that nobody has made a biopic or limited series about this woman …. I’ll just have to write it i guess

back on the re-reading train for this one … somehow the letters are even more romantic reading them a second time

rereading 🥲 let’s call it preparing for the lida maxwell book

she wrote silent spring…. while battling cancer… literally writing chapters from her hospital bed. I’ll never complain about anything ever again

what if I made this into a play… haha just kidding… unless 👀

I think this book is actually making me unwell

just read that the editor (Dorothy’s daughter) tried to edit out some of the more “intimate” letters. just say you hate gay people at that point

“But for tonight, dear one…think of those words as written on the Christmas sky in letters formed of stars, shining with the reflected gleam of that invisible light of which we know”

how about I walk into the ocean
