Every woman should read this :) ( ) Despite the lovely writing this story was completely repitivie for me - it basically spent the whole time talking about the following: depression because of a rejection letter for a college course depression about menopause depression about not being close to daughter and asking her about her problems depression about not being close to mum and not being able to tell her problems lots of flogging of previous book, dissident daughter and future book the secret life of bees lots of talk about feminism and female role models I got bored pretty quickly listening to them moan This is a very personal book--two writers mother and daughter write about what is happening in their lives while they travel together. I could relate to Sue Monk Kidd's half as a mother half and as a woman of a certain age facing getting older. I could relate to her daughter Ann Taylor Kidd as a young woman in her twenties struggling to find her path. This isn't like a lot of travel memoirs--in some ways the traveling seems to take a back seat to the internal struggle for both. I enjoyed this but I'm not sure it would be for everyone.
This book is heavy on introspection and light on plot, but any mother or daughter would enjoy and relate to the touching struggle of developing a close relationship as adult women. It’s an unrelentingly saccharine book, in which the two writers take turns spoon-feeding readers the Meaning of It All. No symbol is left unexplained (at length, and with frequency); no opportunity to preach is untaken. The unexplored life may not be worth living, as Socrates once said, but it turns out the overexplored life is no picnic, either. Distinctions
A wise and involving book about feminine thresholds, spiritual growth, and renewal, "Traveling with Pomegranates" is a revealing self-portrait by the beloved author of "The Secret Life of Bees" and her daughter, a writer in the making. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
