I just don't get how such an inspirational, amazingly talented writer such as Goldberg could possibly have written this nonsensical dribble! Goldberg's previous work --is not work--it is art, her prose and wisdom sparkling like jewels before you. If you have ever even considered being a writer--her books are a MUST. Simply put, she is my literary idol... And then we have this book--an incredibly horridly boring, long and tedious tale about NOTHING. It is more a tribute to hippie life and self indulgence where she goes on for ever about a feeling or a thought her character has. If you like to read chapter after chapter about the colors of the sky, or the feeling of peace on a country road--this may be for you. But for those of you who actually like a STORY with a PLOT that goes somewhere--RUN I say--this is NOT the book for you. What a disappointment
