May Sarton's love for Juliette Huxley, ignited that first moment
she saw her in 1936, transcended sixty years of friendship,
passion, rejection, silence, and reconciliation. The letters chart
their meeting, May's affair with Juliette's husband Julian (brother
of Aldous Huxley) before the war, her intense involvement with
Juliette after the war, and the rich, ardent friendship that
endured until Juliette's death. While May's intimate relationship
with Julian was not a secret, May's more powerful romance with
Juliette was. May's fiery passion was a seductive yet sometimes
destructive force. Her feelings for and demands on Juliette were
often overwhelming to them both. In fact, Juliette refused all
contact with May for nearly twenty-five years. Their
reconciliation, after Julian's death, wasn't so much a rekindling
as it was a testament to the profound affinity between them. Theirs
was a relationship rife with complications and misunderstandings
but the deep love and compassion they shared for one another
prevailed. Included in this book are Sarton's original drafts of an
introduction to these letters.
