Book Overview

Enter the world of The Wild Mother-modern fairytale, bold biblical midrash, filled with the psychological depth and imaginative originality for which the author of The Maeve Chronicles is known. Elizabeth Cunningham's classic feminist novel is as fresh and timeless today as when it was first released in 1993 to critical acclaim.

The Wild

Good story, catchy title for us "Wild Women"I love anything w/ a pagan twist, historical fiction. Fun romp!

Don't Pass this book up!!

You really have to search for Elizabeth Cunningham's books which is a shame as they should probably be required reading for all women young and old. Wonderful twists on Architypes. Engaging writing. I can't get enough of her books!! Write more please!!

Please Read This Book

I could not put down this book. Cunningham has a most magical way of making the veil between the story and characters of her tale and the huge archetype--in this case the 1st woman, Lilith--absolutely transparant. But she does this without turning her characters or their struggles into cartoons. Everything here is real, and larger than life simultaneously. Especially if you are a woman, and you wish to re-member your wild, pre-patriarcal roots, Elizabeth Cunningham will, I hope be as great a powerhouse experience for you, as she has been for me.

A must read for all!

Originally, I had taken A Wild Mother out of the library. Read it in 2 days. Then I bought the book so I could read it again. Elizabeth Cunningham is wonderful. Read & bought her other book - Return of the Goddess as well. Her books speaks to that wildness in all women and makes them feel free.

Compelling, absorbing, transformative

I was late for work two days in a row because of Elizabeth Cunningham! I had to force myself to stop reading for enough hours a day to get my paycheck, then my head was back in the book. There is such power to the images that Cunningham draws -- in this case, of the wild woman who tries to fit into human society but, ultimately, cannot. Many of us have a bit of that wild woman in us, and Cunningham has freed her here to speak to and for us. I recommend this book to all my friends!
