seemed a realistic struggle with feminist ideals, which meant it was a bit disappointing because the women were alternately strong and weak. but that seemed true to life to me.
Noted during my 1980's attempt to read every book in my small town library.
I read this so long ago I can barely rmember it. Should I reread?
