Finally got around to re-reading a book that was quite prominent in my childhood, but that I never finished reading in full. For some reason, I remember always reading until I was roughly halfway, and then giving up. The wondrouw world that Thea Beckman created is just as I remembered it, and I feel like I appreciate this matriarchal paradise more now that I am an adult.
