A lifetime is not enough to read all the good books, meet all the people, and visit all the countries I want to see. Maxie Wander's records from the years 1964 to 1968 are impressive: whether she is wandering through the French metropolis with her husband, staying in cheap hotels and discovering the famous Parisian light, or dealing with everyday tasks at home, with the children, the many friends, and her own work - her theme is the search for a new way of living, living differently, living sincerely and creatively, as stated in the foreword by Fred Wander. Maxie Wander's letters and diary entries paint the picture of a wise, curious, impulsive woman who approached life with passion.
