I need encouragement to read "Walk to the End of the Earth." I read
"Motherlines" about a month ago and thoroughly enjoyed it (although I had
some difficulty with the mating with horses part - but at least that's a
more practical solution than a lot of femscifi novels where two women just
emotionally connect and have their eggs spontaneously split).
So I ran out and got WTTEOFE and, maybe it's the cover (woman in chains on
her knees - macho guys hovering above her), maybe it's just too depressing
to read of a world not so far off from our own, but......the book is
sitting on my nightstand, week after week, while I whiz through a dozen
other books.
Will this book depress me?
