I appreciated the set of questions outlined in the last chapter. ( ) This book has an identity crisis. It's part travel memoir, part Celtic mythology, and part self-help. Any of those would begged, but trying to wave them together into a cohesive whole didn't quite work for me. She was just trying to do too much in one book. I loved the writing about her travels and life in the remote places. I just returned from a trip to Scotland so it was easy to visualize. This part of the writing was pretty straightforward and solid. The mythology I liked ok-- could have used more of it, maybe longer or with more background and context to the stories. However, trying to make them "fit" into the main plot lines was very forced. The self help part of the book was the weakest I thought. She had some very keen and well stated insights that I marked and will return back to. But the solutions presented seems so extreme, and not really at all practical for most women in the world. She was trying to make a point to stop focusing on practical and LIVE, but her own path to this was way more doable than it would be for most. So I was left trying to map the concepts into my world, and it doesn't map very well. Still, some good point were made. Overall, I think this book could have been half the length had she not had to go on for paragraphs/pages trying to convince the reader that the three components were all tightly related. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
