Editorial Reviews

Riffing on poetry fragments by the seventh-century B.C. Greek poet Sappho, the author delivers a gorgeous lesson on romantic love. True love must speak to the erotic part of a woman, which she says requires “that you be fully alive in all your senses, that you observe, that you listen, that you feel, that you taste, that you touch, and that you sense who the other person is at this very moment . . . ” Full of precious wisdom impossible to dismiss, Estés’s writing describes familiar relationship dilemmas but never slides into clichés or platitudes. Powerful stories and the tender immediacy of the author’s voice make this a must-hear audio for anyone serious about connecting with a romantic partner. T.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
