I thought it was funny, but I think you are right about the portrayal of women. You might have read enough to get a feel for the book.

I love that it's based on over 600 letters, too! I've nearly disappeared from our Big Book Summer group, but not because I've wanted to. It's just been an insane summer of packing and house prep. But I've just started another big book, so hopefully you'll be hearing from me again soon.
