After reading her Pomgranates, and seeing the thought process and birthing pains she went through to get this book written, I HAD to reread it.  And I am so glad that I did.  There are so many layers to this work, one should red it once through every year...like the Bible...for all those who are seeking to be loved "as a little child"...don't miss this masterpiece FIRST NOVEL by a great writer.
