By Anaïs Nin. Nin is wonderful. Like a modern, more frenetic version of Madame Bovary. Wonderful “You haven't loved yet…You've only been trying to love; beginning to love. Trust alone is not love, illusion is not love, desire alone is not love. All these were paths leading you out of yourself, it is true, and so you thought they led to another, but you never reached the other. You were only on the way.”
I love love love this story and the way the author explored the topics of gender roles/relationships, women’s bodies, and loneliness. such an intimate book and I love her writing style, wish I could emulate that sort of intimacy in my writing too!!!!
