4.0 out of 5 stars A good anthology of mother/daughter relationships, 30 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Erica Jong captures the mother/daughter, love/hate relationship well. Her book appears to be more about not inventing memories, but how we all perceive our past differently, and how we are all a product of our ancestors. The whole mother/daughter relationship is not completely realized until the daughter becomes a mother herself. Her depiction of how a woman struggles to find her identity in a male society, and that she has to understand and be happy with herself before she can be happy with a man, continues to be a prevalent problem in our society.

3.0 out of 5 stars I expected it to be better, 26 Sep 1998
By A Customer
I have read almost all of Erica Jong's earlier books, & I was looking forward to reading this one. Although in the beginning this novel seemed promising (Sarah's story is very lively & well told) later the book dragged on and on...Jong's central themes (women versus men, spirit versus day to day life) were better explored in her earlier works.

2.0 out of 5 stars The book got progresssively worse, 9 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I loved the book at the start ,the story of the young emigrant sarah why oh why did she not stick with that instead of a boring saga of unbelivable generations of annoying women.did anyone else get sick of the consant literary references the author must think nobody on the planet has read Joyce or Oscar Wilde.Is that impressive to your readers I dont think so.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book was boring and unrealistic.
This book was torture to read. These self-serving unrealistic people could'n't possibly have led such lives. How did they make a living? How did they live day to day? Read more
