A fascinating snap shot into three women's lives and how desire has made lasting impacts on the way they live their lives. This book also serves as a contemplative study on the intersection of love and desire as it relates to women. Very interesting in terms of the way it delves into feminine sexuality!. However, I would have appreciated this study more if the subjects were varied in ethnic background. I need more diversity. Also, I thought there would be more of a discussion at the end about what conclusions the author drew from the ten years spent with these women. This is a hard one to rate because while I found this easy to read and interesting, I also felt it was lacking something.
