Description:BETH ARNOLD’S Jours of Our Lives is the narrative of a gamble, one couple’s wild-card bet on themselves. In 2002, after living 13 years and raising two daughters in their showplace of a Craftsman bungalow in Little Rock, Arkansas, Arnold—a journalist, essayist, and novelist—and her husband, author James Morgan, decided it was time for a change.And what a change they made! When Morgan, a book writer and amateur painter, was stumped for a new book idea, Arnold saw the chance to pull out a dream of to live in France. Arnold’s late brother, New York decorator Brent Arnold—whom David Halberstam had called “the talent of his generation”—had given the couple vivid decorating advice when they’d married and moved into their Craftsman house in 1989: “Matisse colors and Vuillard patterns.” But in addition to resulting in a beautiful house, Brent Arnold’s advice had turned James Morgan into a Henri Matisse devotee.So on a day in 2001, when Beth was working with James to help him discover a new book idea, she suggested a facet of life, especially an artistic life--in this case, Matisse’s life--that Morgan found Most people only look, but they don't see in the deepest sense of the word. Her idea for him was a book in which he would follow in the footsteps of Henri Matisse. The book eventually became Chasing Matisse , and soon the two of them had sold their beloved house in Little Rock and embarked on a life-changing journey through France, Corsica, Morocco, and beyond.Jours of Our Lives , which began life as Beth Arnold’s daily blog recounting the soap-opera arc of their crazy, sometimes heart-wrenching road trip in pursuit of a creative dream, stands today as a vivid depiction of one couple’s brave and unwavering commitment to a life that called them. “Beth Arnold,” writes William Whitworth, editor emeritus of The Atlantic , “is a reporter, a novelist, a memoirist, a cook, and a mom, but perhaps most of all she is a wanderer and a gifted travel writer. With wit and offhand ease, Arnold shows us her how to get there, where to stay, what it looks like, how it sounds, and what it tastes like.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
