Marlo Morgan’s dry dictation is far from vivid, but still manages to capture a certain spirit of insight that makes it difficult to stop reading. The message is simple, but stirring and made me question the way I live – the way we all live – and the near-sightedness of American culture. The controversy over the validity of Morgan’s experience has overshadowed the importance of a very real purpose and, unfortunately, had squelched some of the exquisite insight revealed in the story. I must ask myself: should the fact or fiction of this tale change its significance?Book Chick Rating: YYY
