All Fours
Wild trip by a beautiful writer, about the tension between creativity and domestic life, parenthood, love and sex, marriage, queerness, perimenopause, identity, being rooted in your body, close friendship between women. Discussed it with my best friend, and then re-read it because she noticed things I didn’t.
From my Kindle highlights:
What kind of monster makes a big show of going away and then hides out right nearby? But this was no good, this line of thought. This was the thinking that had kept every woman from her greatness. There did not have to be an answer to the question why; everything important started out mysterious and this mystery was like a great sea you had to be brave enough to cross.
