The story was ok. I felt for the author in the first and second part of the book and understood the quest to find herself in the 3rd part but was not left with any huge amount of sympathy regardless of the difficulties she faced. The quality of the writing seemed to deteriorate towards the last third of the book. I am not a spiritual person by any means and the whole navel gazing paying healers, shamans, girus to help you realise that you need to get over yourself makes for very boring reading.

terrible - don't waste your time. I persisted, thinking "this has GOT to get better", but it didn't. It was self-absorbed rubbish!

this book keeps you engaged from the first page.

(Bought in Australia) Another one with intimacy problems - she was abused by her father, became a nun, then became a callgirl and practiced "relief massage." Turned into a really cloying irritating victim story.
