Book: After the Fire
Annotations made this worthwhile for me
I’m not a big reader of poetry. I wrote poetry when I was younger and I appreciate it’s value, but I don’t read it myself. I think I’m too impatient to really absorb it. I’m pretty intelligent and thoughtful, but I don’t seem to like to challenge myself in my free time. I mean, I enjoy fairly easy books and escapist movies. But, to each her own.
Anyway, I enjoyed this short annotated book of petry, mostly because of the annotations. I’ve read most, if not all, of J.A. Jance’s mysteries so it was interesting to read this personal account of her life. This seems like it would be a particularly meaningful book to read for anyone struggling with an alcoholic, particularly an alcoholic spouse.
