"Good. Psychological analysis as we did it in the late '60s, early '70s. It reminded me very much of that time. We just don't think in these terms anymore. I'm sure I thought we discovered something back then, seeing the world and analyzing it in this way. Kinda funny how young people take their perspective so seriously."
"This was really different from The Fifth Child. I definitely liked the latter better. This book was slow. It was well written but Feminist writing isn't my favorite. It was indicative of the time it was written. Definitely had that early 70's feel to it. I don't feel like I have a good feel for Lessing's work. She wrote over 35 books so I'm going to look into some other works."
