A review by kikiandarrowsfishshelf
An Unkindness of Ravens by Ruth Rendell

4.0

In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh called a woman a slut simply because she had a different prespective on an issue. Of course to Limbaugh, the term feminist is a nasty word. I feel like I should send him a "Happy Women's History Month" card or something.

There is an actual point to my rambling here. Rendell's book deals with the question of what is feminism or to be more precise, can things go too far. At least in part. How she deals with it is rather interestingly and enjoyable. Nice to find a book that isn't preachy.

See, this guy disappears, and his wife his a bit well old fashioned. And then Wexford's Watson (whose name is Burden), his wife has issues because she is giving birth to a girl and feels upset that it is not a boy (and then feels upset that she is upset).

And disappering guy, boy, does he sound like a real winner.
