Description

Suzanne Juhasz (au). This engrossing exploration of the needs & desires that lead to a reading “habit” is part paean to the reading life, part autobiography. Interweaving the story of the journey to self-discovery with her girlhood infatuation with Little Women, her adolescent immersion in Pride & Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, & Jane Eyre, & her adult experiences reading Gloria Naylor’s Mama Day & Isabel Miller’s famous lesbian novel Patience & Sarah, Juhasz convincingly demonstrates that the “romance” plot of finding, losing, & regaining true love is as much about identity as it is about love. This unique book will be a touchstone for women who love to read & believe that reading can change their lives.
