I read this book on a plane today as I was told it's best to read it in one sitting. My goodness. At only 179 pages, it still managed to leave me a bit speechless. It's written in a broken, but beautiful, chain of consciousness and prose. It took me 10 or 15 pages to fall into her mind, but once I did it no longer felt fragmented but comfortably, if not oddly, sequential. I've never read anything quite like this. A narrative in short prose, but not poetry, definitely a narrative. A walk through love, marriage, becoming a mother, martial struggles, aging - but without any of the cliches often plaguing books of that subject matter. It's not an easy read exactly, as I had to re-read several pieces multiple times, but it was thoroughly satisfying.
