I dove into this book with full force for about 300 pages, and then got bogged down by lengthy hyperbolic metaphors and had to take a break. Overall, I think it does a great job of using story and lost collective wisdom to attempt to reconnect modern women with their instinctual selves. I recommend this book to every woman who seeks understanding of and relationship with their true nature.
I just re-read this for a book club. It is still my favorite Jungian analysis guide for traditional literature.
Great stories and writing... but dense text. Too much to take in with one checkout from the library!
