Barbara Rhine's Reviews > Sparta

What I love about this book, among many other things, is the fact that women now feel empowered to write about whatever they want to. We are no longer limited to a (generally unhappy) domestic sphere. Robinson does a great job of describing PTSD after Iraq, with compassion for not only her main character, but also for the women--his girlfriend; his sister; his mother less so--with whom he interacts. Definitely worth reading!
