Licking Our Wounds

Summary: I could not finish this book
Review: I found the book to be too fragmented, scattered. It was hard to pay attention to. I really did try to keep reading it, I got about 1/3 of the way through it and just gave up. It did have humor but would have been much better if written in a more flowing style instead of choppy, which it was.

Summary: Fabulous Book
Review: It's realy hard to find lesbian fiction that is well written and entertaining, but D'Haene accomplishes both of these tasks. I really enjoyed reading this book, and have read it several times since my first reading, and it's still just as good as the first time. The story is a moving and emotional one, sprinkled with humor. I HIGHLY recommend it. If you love Jeannette Winterson, you'll love Elise D'Haene.

Summary: Licking Our Wounds is One of My Favorite Books!
Review: Licking Our Wounds is a provactive, soul-wrenching novel that tells the story of Maria as she is faced with loss on innumerable levels - loss of love, friendship, life, past, and center. It is compelling, not simply because of D'Haene's magical gift for expression, but because it tells the story of the human collective. Everyone can identify with Maria and feel her hurt, remorse, emptiness, and ultimately triumph. If you're looking for a very well-written, meaningful story, Licking Our Wounds is the way to go.
