This book is very good. It is also believable in my opinion. I read the book twice and loved it each time. At firt it was hard for me to understand, but everything gets very clear as the story progresses.

Definately not for the closeminded or women bashers lol

A hopeful vision of a possible world in which mankind has almost
destroyed everything on the planet and in which womankind is
trying to survive.

3.0 out of 5 stars hard to take, February 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Motherlines (Holdfast Chronicles) (Hardcover)

The original concept was intriguing and kept me very interested. Even the men sections were deep in imagery. I can still see the lactating women's houses and the milk cakes. But in this book, which I waited a long time to get since it was out of print, and I wanted it very badly, was too brutal. I would share it with very few friends. The characters agonized so much I lost tract of what they were worried about. A map would have helped
