I quite enjoyed this book. It was an interesting dive into the desire for women to reject femininity and the restrictions that come with womanhood. 
Dona wants the freedom that  comes with being a young single man (i.e. a cabin-boy), but unfortunately she is a married mother of 2. Her life has lost its excitement and she just wants a taste of that again. 
It’s sad that

she ultimately has to go back to the life she was trying to escape. But it brings home the reality of the expectations placed on women, especially mothers.
