I’m a little irritated at the connection to Shakespeare for some reason I haven’t worked out yet. BUT the author’s words on womanhood, motherhood, relationships, and holy moly ohmysweetbbyjesus grief just absorbed into my guts. It’s good stuff. Good enough to make me want to seek out her other writing. So you should probably read it.
