This is some of the most beautiful writing I've ever encountered. It reminds me a little bit of Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype. It's language is deep and satisfying. The mother daughter relationship told in an almost mythical way. Loved it!

I loved this one. Been a while since I read it.
Yay! OMGosh, I'm SO HAPPY you finally read this. Isn't it just gorgeous? A true masterpiece. I wish I had time to reread it. I've never forgotten its overall feeling, but I'd love to experience the writing again. You flew through it, by the way!
Glad you enjoyed this one, Debbie. I think the movie adaptation was also excellent, in case you want to check it out! :)
Oh, yes. I agree with Dolors about the movie, DJ. It does leave out one entire chunk--(view spoiler)--but it's otherwise faithful and quite good.
One of my favourites! I agree with you the writing is exquisite.
Definitely a favorite! Glad you enjoyed it Debbie :)
