My very favorite book of Meg Wolitzer is The Interestings and have been dipping in and out of her books since. Read The Wife which I liked even saw the movie with Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce two actors I dearly love. So far I am liking The Ten Year Nap even though it is about mothers and their offspring in an affluent environment....neither of which I am...not a mother and not affulent.

5 Stars • The World We Found by Thrity Umrigar follows four women who were idealistic friends in 1970s Bombay. Decades later, Armaiti, dying of cancer in the U.S., seeks a reunion. Laleh and Kavita, now a doctor and a lesbian navigating India's norms, search for Nishta, trapped in a fundamentalist marriage. Through flashbacks and a tense reunion, the novel explores friendship, lost dreams, and India's social divides, blending hope and heartbreak.

I finished my little Halloween Lego wreath and this book. I loved the insight into artistic inspiration but the domestic violence was hard to listen to. The insecurity/inner dialogue behind the violence was insightful and harrowing as you felt the frustration build. The dual time line was well done with characters in both mirroring each other which was fun until it was scary. There is a paranormal aspect to this story some might not buy into

In previous chapters we read about learning to trust ourselves, then this sentence appears! It is a terrifying perspective for those of us who have lived with domestic violence- but in a specific context it is most likely a vital truth. The context of fear, trust and safety- and how do we ever find it after the death of that experience? That is when we have to discern between fear because of danger vs fear because of trauma. Thoughts?

Sedna is mentioned in the first part of this chapter so i thought i would share the Goddess card reflection of her I have. If you read it I would be curious to hear how it was received or impacted your thoughts in relation to this chapter and yourself.

My responses are leaving high school, endings of friendships, home the way i lived in it and going to college, then leaving college and going to work- then end of childhood and beginning of adulting…. and of course life after divorce - This cycle does play out in numerous ways through life experiences.
