Read this book for my American Storytellers and the Theological Imagination class. What a relevant read for me. I have been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a woman and experience desire in a Christian setting. The idea of the female life as only good or worthy if it is inherently sacrificial has been so damaging in the lives of so many women I know. This book captured that tension between wanting to be "good" and just plain wanting beautifully.

The plot and what actually HAPPENS isn't really the most interesting thing but the actual writing is lovely & the pathos is real. Reminds me of The Hours (though written before) in its weirdness.
