Rating:  - My favorite book!
I grew up with this book, having read it yearly since my junior year in high school. Every year (10 now) I have gained some new insight into life and certainly into love. Marge Piercy has a tremendous capacity for conveying passion through her writing. Braided Lives in particular allows us to live through Jill's loves and pains. It's a very emotional read and one I recommend to everyone.
Rating: - A brilliant masterpiece!
Marge Piercy's writing style is unlike anything I have ever read before. Her writing is pure poetry. It gathers around you like a warm, comfortable quilt from page one and draws you into a world of the past that is both fascinating and easy to identify with. Her characters are masterfully created and expressed, and this slice-of-life novel is one I will definitely read again! If you are into cheap romance or soap-opera-like plots, this novel is NOT for you. This novel is real and alive. If you enjoy quality literature, then BUY this book!
