Title: Beautiful language but otherwise a PC fairy tale
Product review: Jean Hegland writes beautifully, which is all that kept me reading. Unfortunately, there is not much else to this book, a politically correct, thinly-veiled tribute to the "noble savage" and diatribe against the modern world. The story is farfetched: -All the calamities we worry about seem to happen at the same time: earthquakes, wars, nuclear power plant meltdowns, (was there a volcanic eruption somewhere too?). -Incest between the sisters -Burning down their home and fleeing into the forest for good. Not believable even as a post-apocalyptic tale.
