This book demands your presence, often tediously so. Mainly because there are few "events" in a plot driven sense, and more detached, report - like accounts. In the version I have there is an afterword by Claire Louise Bennett which draws out the value of the process in a way I hadn't appreciated while reading it, but having read Jacqueline Harpman's I Who have Never Known Men, I feel the latter covers the same ground in a more engaging manner.
