When things of the spirit come first

by Simone de Beauvoir

The stories in this wonderful book are all tied together through their characters and makes this collection an interesting and enjoyable read. Many thoughts of the woman protagonists mirror some of my own as they struggle with men, faith, education, family and their own insecurities. --Steph Peters at Amazon.com.
