“For twelve years we MacDonalds have been living on an island in
Puget Sound. There is no getting away from it, life on an island is
different from life in the St. Francis Hotel but you can get used
to it, can even grow to like it. 'C'est la guerre,' we used to say
looking wistfully toward the lights of the big comfortable warm
city just across the way. Now, as November (or July) settles around
the house like a wet sponge, we say placidly to each other, ‘I
love it here. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.’” Betty
MacDonald’s final memoir, Onions in the Stew recounts her second
attempt at farm-living, this time on Washington’s then-remote
Vashon Island along with her second husband, Don MacDonald, and her
two teenage daughters.
