Rageful and beautiful writing.
A brave book to publish
3 stars
From what I understand there is still quite a lot of stigma around mental health in S Korea, so it must have taken a lot of courage for the author to publish such a frank and comprehensive 'write-up' of her counselling sessions. This was a book group read and it has led to some thoughtful and interesting discussions, but I felt that I would have enjoyed it more had it been better structured.

Gripping until it wasn't?

A weird little book that I really enjoyed, but it felt a bit rushed and flimsy towards the end.

Lidija reviewed Saffron Alley by A J Demas
A nice lightweight read
3 stars
This was an intriguing little story, but I felt it lacked the warmth and intensity of her other books.
Drew me in slowly

This was my first time reading any of Berry's work and initially I found the sheer 'American-ness' of his poems placed me at a slight distance from them somehow? As I progressed through the book though, I started to feel an underlying theme of place and timelessness that drew me in. One thing that I found charming was that throughout the book there were poems dedicated to friends and friendship; such tokens of appreciation for male friendships are so rare.
