Title: Dead book
Review: I was a Midwives fan and so thought I'd give this book a shot. I was so disappointed. I hoped to explore the soaring passion and power of transcendent love that lifts you out of any sense of time and space -but found the author to be limited in his ideas about gender and identity as well as love. To feel trapped in a body IS the hell of human existence. We all long to be seen and known for who we are in truth, and the culture-bound definitions of sexual identity used in this book don't provide me with enough to fall in love, either with the characters or their experiences. Much of it was too "clever", too shallow, too physical...too predictable...
