thebookkeepers 's review for:

The Woman I Kept to Myself by Julia Alvarez

5.0

---

Autobiographical poems which explore many avenues of life such as marriage, divorce, love, loss, death, health, depression, immigration, sexism, religion, self doubt, and nature. I loved the vivid imagery the author used as well as the smooth flow of the poems. Beautiful collection that has a nice balance of joy and sorrow. You will leave feeling like you understand this author a personal note. Lovely - 4.5 stars!
