Book: When Women Were Birds: Fifty-four Variations on Voice by Terry Tempest Williams
Age-range: 16 and up

When I read Ms. Williams books it always takes me awhile to absorb them. Days, weeks, years. Her most famous book, Refuge, was the first one of hers that I read at a time when I desperately needed to read it. I feel that in all of her later works she hides behind words more than she did in this first one.


When Women Were Birds is no exception.

It feels as though she wants to talk about something, but is unwilling to reveal what. Perhaps on further readings I'll be able to better tell what, exactly, this book means. Definitely worth the effort, though.

Happy reading!
