I'm reading this at Melissa's recommendation, it has a good reputation

Took me a while to get into this book. I came *this* close to giving up, it was just too slow. But I persevered and it gathered pace and by the end I couldnt put it down. I consider this a chicks book. All about the power of women and mothering and nurturing. Read it. I liked it in the end. I bought the movie on eBay.
