The North Star is Nearer — Evelyn Eaton

Best-selling author Evelyn Eaton (Quietly My Captain Waits, 1940) wrote a series of light-hearted stories about her life in England, France, and Canada in the years between the wars. Those stories, published in The New Yorker, form the basis for two autobiographical volumes, Every Month was May and The North Star is Nearer. Although the stories were written and published a lifetime ago, their appeal is timeless.
