Imagining Characters
The bestselling author of "Possession" pairs her searching intelligence with the insights of psychoanalyst Ignes Sodre in a free-wheeling and exhilarating discussion of one novel each by six women writers--Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Willa Cather, Iris Murdoch, and Toni Morrison. The result reveals how literature engages and nourishes the reader.
