A collection of short, thoughtful pieces from Levy that range from her separation from her husband to a meeting about filming her 'Swimming Home'. Anyone who has read Levy will not be surprised by her attention to the constrictions and constructions of gender ('This is what I resented most, that my mind had been abducted and was full of Him. It was nothing less than an occupation'). Knowing little about her other than a couple of her novels, I was interested to see that we share some literary heroines: Simone de Beauvoir, Emily Dickinson, Marguerite Dumas.

My only negative comment is that this is extremely short, I probably read it in about an hour - interesting, for sure, with some depth of thought and emotion despite the brevity of the pieces.
