    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;At fifty, Alix Kates Shulman left a city life dense with political activism, family, and literary community, and went to stay alone in a small cabin on an island off the Maine coast. Living without plumbing, electricity, or a telephone, she discovered in herself a new independence and a growing sense of oneness with the world that redefined her notions of waste, time, necessity, and pleasure. With wit, lyricism, and fearless honesty, Shulman describes a quest that speaks to us all: to build a new life of creativity and spirituality, self-reliance and self-fulfillment.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[While the world was on an Eat, Pray, Love craze I found this gem of a memoir in a small bookstore on Cape Cod.  I have since lent it out to some of my favorite people and almost everyone has loved it.  Although the author seems a bit self serving at times, and that can be a huge turn off, her story ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43389380">more...</a>]]></body>
