A delightful read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
In her latest book , Bia Lowe goes to the mat with the tougher aspects of being in love -- the scarier stuff, white-knuckle stuff, the stuff most of us want to sidestep in these times of virtual reality and anti-depressants. After all, what could be more difficult, more terrifying than seeing the other? Poetic, but never without grit, "Splendored Thing" speaks to what is most essential to our lives: love of a mate, family, neighbors, and other creatures. There's a lot to reckon with here. Lowe likes to stir a lot of ingredients into her pot... (everything from popular songs to physics)...but the result is sensuous and astonishing.
A Sensual Pleasure

I loved this book! Bia Lowe's writes with passion and a deft touch. From her renovation of her cottage in Ireland to her travels through Afghanistan, she never loses sight of the most important thing in our lives no matter where we live...love. It's a wonderful collection of essays and stories.
