What a strange little book. I picked it up today at a fundraiser book sale when we were paying for a bag and still had a bit of space left.
It seems like every book I grab after just looking at the cover ends up being about war, and this followed the pattern. The largest section of the book is dedicated to a retelling of Anderson's "The Fir Tree," with a bit of a twist at the end, not much. The rest is about the author's uncle who survived WWII in Hungary.
It has some wonderful paragraphs and neat insights, but I might not be in the right frame of mind to find it deeply moving.

reading clarissa pinkola estés is an opportunity to sit at the feet of a master storyweaver and teacher of the art of living, honestly. this one is no exception. here there is a tale about the alchemy that transforms trauma through storytelling through families, cycles of creation, the value of fallow fields and the way that to see and touch constant death/change is the way to know that which can never die.

she's an amazing writer and everything I think I'm just too young to understand this advice but it's a very sweet soft honest book about her family and customs
What ground is fallow is only resting...
Beautiful and haunting. A wonderful book.
