Title: Heavy Going Though Well Written
Review: This book is full of good, spare prose, but what a tale of woe! There must be a better way to illustrate female strength than through such a steady stream of pain and victimization. In fact, there is something kind of heavy handed about the story telling that causes this book to finally fall short in my opinion. Maybe I am just too old for this kind of thing. I remember reading lots of literature in this 'telling-the-story-of-female-oppression' genre as a baby feminist,' but I guess I have heard enough.
Is the review positive or negative?
