Intelligent But Less Than Fascinating Picture of "Utopia",
By richlandwoman (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A source of embarrassment
It's the 1950s and WW III is looming. A handful of people decide to create a back-to-nature-type commune, but they all have different ideas of what Utopia is, and whether it's even achievable.The author is obviously intelligent and perceptive. She focuses on nuances and admirably refrains from the cheap-shots that middle-class Utopians invite. Unfortunately, this short novel didn't really work for me -- I simply didn't care whether the commune succeeded or failed. And despite the detailed descriptions of the characters' thoughts and emotions, I seldom felt they approached flesh-and-blood reality. Rather, it seemed to me that the men and women here were mostly just part of a debate in the author's own mind.
