It's "When Wanderers Cease to Roam: A Traveler's Journal of Staying Put" by Vivian Swift.
It's a Christmas gift. From me to myself. ^_^
Udah dua bulanan lebih saya kepingin punya buku ini. Sejak liat foto-foto dan preview isinya di sini dan sini, saya langsung kepincut cut. And now it's in my hand! Perfect, lovely and charming, way better than anything I could have ever imagined.
Berikut deskripsi isi buku dari Amazon.co.uk: A charming, illustrated celebration of puttering, doodling, daydreaming, and settling down after years on the road.
Following a lifetime of trekking across the globe, Vivian Swift racked up twenty-three temporary addresses in twenty years, finally dropped her well-worn futon mattress and rucksack in a small town on the edge of the Long Island Sound. She spent the next decade quietly taking stock of her life, her immediate surroundings, and, finally, what it means to call a place a home.
The result is "When Wanderers Cease to Roam". Filled with watercolors of beautiful local landscapes, seasonal activities, and small, overlooked pleasures of easy living, each chapter chronicles, month by month, the beautifully mundane perks of remaining at home - from curious notices in the local paper to the variations of autumnal clouds. At once gorgeously rendered and wholly original, this delightful and masterfully observed year of staying put shows us how the details of travel and the details of our lives remain with us - how they can nurture and sustain us, and how the past and the present become, in the end, intertwined.
^_^ This is what I'll be reading this Christmas holiday.
