4.0

I've noticed two things about Wiener's writing: one is that she often writes with the same themes, but each book is somehow totally different. The second is that there is a marked difference between her earlier stuff and her more recent books and I like her more recent work significantly more. This was a fairly solid read, though I found it dragged at times. I liked the characters and Wiener once again managed to create a heartbreaking narrative that totally pulls you in.

I liked a lot of Wiener's ideas around what it means to be a woman and how a lot of that meaning has evolved throughout history, while at the same time we seem to be facing a lot of the same challenges over and over again. I think sometimes she answered complex questions with simple answers, but I'm not too fussed, this wasn't a deep philosophical work, it was historical fiction on the edge of chick lit.
