Small, richly eloquent rending of the mars and venus theme,
By susan johnson (Temple , Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anger (Paperback)
Much before the popularization of the Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus books, May Sarton put to a few pages this gently told story of a young marriage. And in this small novel, I found, she illustrated in a richly eloquent, and somewhat edited style, the 'big idea'. I read this one wintry week-end as a close friend from Boston was soaking in my bath tub avidly reading MMWV. She had come to visit me in the 'country' of western Mass., seeking answers to a failed relationship, needing the solace of our friendship, and some get-away time from the big city/the 'scene of the crime'. In Sarton's pages was the whole story told with mastery and objective kindness. I have since felt they should be sold side by side. I prefer her rendition. It's a slower read, but, I thought, it was just perfect.

Not as good as her memoirs,
By Seehorse72 - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Anger (Paperback)
I love this author, but I was a bit disappointed with this one. Her main characters came across the page to me as being very shallow. There are great one-liners in this book. Many times there are references to wonderfully thought-provoking situations worded in a way that makes one think about the world a bit differently. It's worth the read, but not one of my favorites.

At the heart of it,

This review is from: Anger (Paperback)
May Sarton knows how to get to the heart of any relationship, and build the layers in a way that makes the characters so true to life. And this is not my favorite of her novels.PC |
