Customer Reviews

Reality check on the writing life and female relationships.

Definitely worked for me--I related to the author's struggles trying to survive as a feminist writer, and resolving the ambiguities of life, death and female friendships. Reminded me of May Sarton's journals but more "no holds barred" in that the author seems to relate her experiences without sugar coating. Left me with the impression of "self-indulgent" tone yet still was insightful. I found the time jumps in Ms. Sinclair's writing intrusive at times. Overall the prose is poetic, particularly when relating to nature/gardening. Followed the theme beautifully and metaphorical connection right on. I know a book works for me if it lingers long after I have finished it.
