I did enjoy this book, but it has its weaknesses. Not being all that much into poetry, I found the long poems excruciatingly boring. I am no judge of poetry, but they didn't look very good to me... The idea and the story is very good, but the constant sneering remarks about the American feminists got a bit annoying in the end, and some small things made me react here and there. Things that affected credibility. I like the structure of the book, with now-narrative and past-narrative, letters, diaries, and (unfortunately) poems. There is just something lacking.Funny how the women in the book are all extremes or stereotypes though. Come to think of it, perhaps all the characters are...
