Yeah I don’t know a ton about Mead but I have read her bio on wikipedia. I guess she was married like 3 times and had other life partners as well. I like how Lily King spun her tale from the beginnings of Mead’s trip. Hmm.

I thought it was amazing that Lily King took that creative liberty. I must read her other books.

I know what you mean Judy. The ending was quite devastating. I didnt want it to end like that. Amazingly sad. I thought they’d get together and life would be grand, but boy was I wrong!

That’s cool to have interviewed Lily King. Wow. Yeah the cover is the paperback edition.

It has to be a very special book for me to rate a book with 5 stars (like one of my writing friends or a Toni Morrison) but I had no hesitation doing so with Euphoria.

Euphoria was one of my favorite books from last year. I was pleased to have the opportunity to interview the author myself. I haven’t seen that cover before, perhaps it’s a new edition.

Yeah Brona, I think liking anthropology or knowing something about Mead’s real life helps on the enjoyment of this book. I found the ending sad and moving. I could picture the story of this book quite well and think the author did a good job with it. Not sure the negative reviews either. Too much in the jungle?

Perhaps having an interest in anthropology is the key after all?
