The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Neil Gaiman wrote this book. I had never heard of him but he is a very prolific writer -- comic books, science fiction, novels, kids books.. he does it all.

I wish I could talk to him because I have no idea what this book was about.. He says he is very proud of this story. When I read it, I felt like I was reading a very accurate description of someone's dream.. maybe on a night they took cold medicine. A woman in my book club recommended it after finding it on a list of "good feminist books." Other than the presence of a family of three generations of women who have mystical power, I am not sure why it is considered a feminist book.

I just don't know.

That said, I enjoyed reading it.
