Customer Reviews

engaging and insightful

This is an excellent novel! I was immediately engaged in Fiona's story. Miller successfully blends the world of back-stabbing academia with Edith Wharton's biographical tale. I found myself riveted by both stories and the Tarot readings are simply delightful. I have already given copies to my friends and relatives--makes a great graduation gift!

absorbing and invigorating

Not only is The Fool's Journey a delightful read, it isalso wonderfully constructed--the mixing of Edith Wharton and Fiona's story works well. The book is wise about the vagaries of academic life. It is an absorbing and invigorating read that says so much, so well, about how to make the journey from academic enmeshment to autonomy. And it says it without becoming didactic or simplistic--instead, it is a witty, tender and insightful account.I'm already recommending this to all my women colleagues.
