I had a hard time getting into this...the "instrusions" caused between herself the person and herself the writer were too confusing. I stopped reading 30 pages in.

This was a very different book for Ms. Hegi. She usually writes about Germany. This book is told through the eyes of a writer as she tries to write a novel amid the intrusions of family. It is comical in places. Frequently her small children are camped outside her door while she attempts to write inside her office. Often the characters get inside her head and argue with her psyche. It can be confusing at times, and after awhile did not keep my interest.

"A delightful and preceptive novel about the creative process and the nature of reality."
"Ursula Hegi has given us a lively first novel about the layered realities of a woman's life. It's funny and sad. and an old-fashioned good one."

"Hegi creates funny and original novel within a novel to explore the doubts, decisions, and "might-have-beens" that mark not only the writing process but life itself."

I loved this book. Once I realized that the POINT is that the author and the main character are very similar, there was no problem switching back and forth. I thought it was brilliant and fun to read.
