5.10.05 day

Home & jetlagged... the city is awash in spring flowers and baby ducks and I walked around in the rain listening to the church bells chime!

Happy mother's day to everyone who might be eligible for such wishes.....

I never used to read my own reviews, and I probably won't in the future. But I'm fascinated by the response to this book; it is interesting to see how people interpret the work. The latest:

...There's a deep, almost painful beauty in her seemingly dispassionate language, and as Lavender interweaves the story of her most recent illness with those of her childhood and young adulthood, she also gives context to the physical contours and social history of the working-class Pacific Northwest landscape that was her home. In sifting through her unwanted memories, poking at the still-raw scars and bruises, Lavender shows how it is possible to transcend the body and its demands, to construct a whole and rewarding life out of a fractured past.
