Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Snow's first novel is a blast from the past. Set in the late sixties and seventies, it tells the story of Juliana Jantzen, who at 40 finally feels like a free woman five years after her divorce. Her daughters are married, she settles into her job as a reference librarian at San Jorge State College, and she gets involved with three very different men, each of whom enables her to grow. Her first love is a handsome and earnest college professor who is still obsessed with his first wife but convinces her to marry him, which she soon regrets. The second is a Vietnam War veteran and an organic farmer who typifies the Woodstock generation. The last is her house rehabber, who shares her dream to rebuild her house, which seems to be a metaphor for her life. Snow's use of the vernacular of the time gives the story authenticity, and it's great--make that groovy--to see the feminist revolution from a middle-aged perspective. Patty Engelmann

A love story from the early seventies
10. Juli 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I just had the pleasure of reading the first novel written by Sacramento author, Marina Snow. It is a love story taking place in the early seventies, an era which brought back many of my own memories.
I found the telling of this story to be an accurate description of that place in time, with enough fact to allow the reader to learn, while enjoying a good read about endearing characters, whom I got to know and like. The flashbacks of the time period, and women's plight specifically at that time, I believe, make it an important work for all women to read. It is most importantly a book worth reading by all women coming of age during the sixties, professional and non-professional alike for insight into the cultural milieu of the time. I found this to be a poignant story of a time in history, when great strides were made in bringing about the beginning of the women's movement and equality. It was a time, as the author portrays, when women began to express their own desires, and take responsibility for their own lives, free of much of the old dogma associated with women's place in society.
I look forward with anticipation to other works by Marina Snow.

especially interesting if you have lived through the 70's

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a compelling love story which includes a fascinating account of college life in California during the early seventies. There is also an unusual in-depth account of how the main character restored a Queen Anne cottage, complete with detailed information. This may inspire many readers to do the same!
