"A children's song inspires a love of Greek mythology in a young girl. A young woman finds a career in archeology and illustration. A young mother sees her daughter become a woman, as her own mother's memories are lost. Persephone's Garden is a deeply personal story and an inventive study of girlhood, womanhood and motherhood, through memory, history and mythology."--Amazon.

Unfortunately, between the good bits are a lot of boring sketchbook pages, mundane travel diaries, and way, way too many "kids say the darndest things" gags featuring her son and daughter, who come off more bratty than cute. The kid strips also bring up a privacy issue as the author explicitly states in the introduction that her children have asked her to stop posting them but that she intends to continue to do so despite their expressed humiliation. It reminded me of this article:

By the way, if you are intrigued by the tapestries of the mother, Judith Poxson Fawkes, here's a page with eight of them in full color:

Bottom line, an uneven work by an interesting talent. I'll certainly seek out more by her in the future. ( )
