samusc 's review for:

Sappho's Leap by Erica Jong
2.0
emotional slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a tough one. While I enjoyed reading about some figures in Sappho's family that I wasn't familiar with, this book was not at all what I hoped it would be. It serves as a potential entry point for further research, but if you're looking for inclusive feminism, this one ain't it.
