Autobiography of Blue

In Frances Sherwood’s novel Vindication, a fictionalized account of the life of Mary Wollstonecraft, the tortured and occasionally suicidal protagonist is desperate to discover the right way to live. She tells her longtime friend and publisher that she is overwhelmed by “all that might be, not be, so be it, your mind going a hundred thoughts between this moment and the next.” Her friend replies: “But my dear, you have arrived. You are here, at your life. Put yourself down, settle in. It is yours. You have been living it all along.”
