5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, April 16 2006

By

Emily McLeod (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joys Of Motherhood (Paperback)

The writing is so straightforward and appears simple but there is so much depth in the novel. It's an easy read and one of the most pleasurable books I've read in a long time! I would recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A feel of motherhood, Mar 3 2006

By

Pius (Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Joys Of Motherhood (Paperback)

I found this book to be very exciting from the very first page to the very last and sighed when I finished the story.After reading it, I got a better understanding Motherhood. I also enjoyed the way motherhood is treated in The usurper and Other Stories, Disciples of Fortune, Mission to kala, Triple Agent Double Cross,The old man and the medal.

By A Customer

This review is from: Joys Of Motherhood (Paperback)

I had to read this book for my World Lit. class in college. I must say it is one of the best books I have ever read. Easy to follow from begining to end, I did not want to put it down. I recommend this to everyone.
