Cathy's review of Things Without a Name
Things Without a Name by Joanne Fedler
I won this book from Allen & Unwin bookclub and boy am I glad I did!
I'd never heard of the author before and when I saw the cover I was prepared for a slightly better than average Mills and Boone or a soppy women's lit book. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
This author is obviously writing of things she knows well. The way social welfare jobs and the people one helps can end up swallowing a person whole is so very true.
Faith,the main character unfolds for us as imperceptibly as the opening of a flower. I can't recall ever reading a book that captures the essence of self-realization and growth as well as this one. Easy to read with short chapters that pull you into the next, depth expressed simply and with clarity.
