Summary: Traveling with Pomegranates
Comment: I liked the daughters writing more than the Mothers. It did show a passage in time between the two age groups, but I had a hard time believing that any relationship like this exists.

Summary: Loved Pomegranates
Comment: Sue Monk Kidd totally speaks my language, and now I get to hear her daughter's voice as well. A wonderful, spirit-filled story, full of feminine viewpoint. I loved it.

Summary: For woman who are working on themselves at a very deep level
Comment: This is an important book for women doing deeper work on themselves. Sensitive and intuitive it celebrates our roots and our emotional journey being a mother and a daughter.The feminine aspect in our world has been so suppressed within our patriarchal society.
I wish I had the opportunity to do something like this with my own mother who is now 85years old.. Unfortunately she came from a generation where this kind of inner work was unavailable (except for a few people like Marion Woodman etc.)
My hope is that when my 17 year old daughter grows up more she and I will have an opportunity to connect with the kind of information that is expressed in this book and have some wonderful conversations.
I carried her over the hills of Crete in a baby carrier on my back when she was 8 months old. Her recent love of Greece comes from the romance and scenery in the movie Mama Mia and she has now states she wants to go to Greece.Hopefully this is a good sign for the future.
I wish to thank the authors for this book as I found them courageous in writing a book many woman would not understand and would criticize. The mantra I hear here is 'Be Yourself' 'Be Yourself'. Woman have not been themselves for a long long time. We have been too busy fitting in and pleasing others. We are slowly waking up and we have many more pioneer woman going in this direction of feminine freedom. I highly recommend you view Eve Ensler's video on Ted about the 'girl cell'. [...].
There is a very big underground (rising now) movement on the feminine re emerging into our society.

Summary: Truly terrible
Comment: I'm not sure how this book made it to print, but I am fairly certain that neither author will be able to coast through on their laurels again after this book. As I am reading through the other reviews, there is a definite sense of anger from the readers. Take note publishers, don't waste our time and our money on self indulgent memoirs. This one is shamefully egregious.

Summary: Why??
Comment: Was very excited to read this for a book club after loving The Secret Life of Bees. Yuck! What a disappointment! Seems like they were constantly and desperately searching for symbolism to make meaning of their lives, and so much of the book seemed simply self-indulgent. Common problems with little insight here. Taylor fancies herself a travel writer, but the descriptions of the places they visited were not at all descriptive or compelling. Not only did we unanimously dislike the book in my book club, we had a hard time coming up with anything about it we did like! I wish them both luck after this book.
