The Tea Ceremony: The Uncollected Writings

Rating:
Summary: Last collection of a truly great writer
Review: Not the place to start if your new to Berriault (if you're new, try "Women In Their Beds" or "Afterwards").

Berriault is one of the finest American writers of the last 50 years, despite the fact that her work is not well known. Perhaps no one writes better about the inner lives of women. And her sentences are always superb--lyrically honed, filled with insight.

This collection is what you get after you've read everything else and there are some nice gems here too (some nice journalism, a very thoughtful interview, some uncollected stories). Go get your hands one aforementioned books!
