A review by kristendom
The Temple of My Familiar by Alice Walker

3.0

This book is a beautifully written and winding story of several people whose lives are intertwined through fate and history. Whether it is the goddess who remembers all of her past lives through dream memories, or the woman who is both of earth and all the planets, Walker carefully and enchantingly weaves each thread into a tapestry of love and self-understanding. And while I can appreciate all of this, it was also cumbersome for me to read at times, as well as just dry. Might be timing, might be me, but this was a wonderful book...that I just didn't enjoy as much as I'd hoped.
