A review by eososray
The Fire-Dwellers by Sylvia Fraser, Margaret Laurence

2.0

This book did not resonate with me at all. I read the afterword that says it was a Canadian version of the feminist movement writings of the time, and I can see that in the story. There was nothing in the narrative to draw me in though. I did not feel empathy for her life or crisis's, I did not care for her family. I did not care for her self recriminations or strange thoughts. I found her view of her marriage disappointing but it evoked no real emotion.
I had thought my uninterest was due to the characters but maybe the time and place this story is written from is so far outside my experience that I could not appreciate it.
