I loved this book so much more than I expected to... Every woman should read this :) ( )

Despite the lovely writing this story was completely repitivie for me - it basically spent the whole time talking about the following:

depression because of a rejection letter for a college course
depression about menopause
depression about not being close to daughter and asking her about her problems
depression about not being close to mum and not being able to tell her problems
lots of flogging of previous book, dissident daughter and future book the secret life of bees
lots of talk about feminism and female role models

I got bored pretty quickly listening to them moan ( )

Book club book by Sherry ( )

I didn't really find it very interesting. ( )

This is a very personal book--two writers mother and daughter write about what is happening in their lives while they travel together. I could relate to Sue Monk Kidd's half as a mother half and as a woman of a certain age facing getting older. I could relate to her daughter Ann Taylor Kidd as a young woman in her twenties struggling to find her path. This isn't like a lot of travel memoirs--in some ways the traveling seems to take a back seat to the internal struggle for both. I enjoyed this but I'm not sure it would be for everyone. ( )
