I'm struggling with this book. I'm almost finished but I'm still at a loss. I'm not sure what links the stories together. I'm not excited by very many of the characters. Some of the stories seem unfinished. Maybe at the end there will be some illumination. There wasn't any illumination at the end. I got through it.....but that's all I can say about it. I went online to see what other folks said in their reviews. I was surprised to see that many folks enjoyed the stories. I felt they were repetitive in theme in that the women's lives were most often defined by their relationships or lack thereof with men and their ability to procreate.

Some stories were better than others, but overall it was pretentious and dull.

I don't think Katie ward writes well. She doesn't have clear enough goals. I found most of these stories so boring, with unclear endings.. The stories didn't move. They jumped. Also like other readers, I misses the " marks.

Rather to my surprise I quite enjoyed this book. It's a book about art and female experience rather than about reading - reading is the slight thread that binds them all. Liked the first story the best and the modern day story the least. Guess the author is getting at the idea of art and reading as a powerful force in humans which despite e-everything still requires physical objects for that connection - I think?? Might be wrong.
