read it, people.

I just finished reading such a good book--Night of the Radishes, referring toa festivalin Oaxaca, Mexico. It made me want to go there; I've only been just over the border to Mexico (from Arizona), never actually been anywhere there.
The story was of a woman who has suffered lots of grief with her family of origin, and locked it all inside. She has tried to be the perfect daughter, sister, wife, and mother, and doesn't realize how angry she is at her family members for all leaving her in various ways to carry the load alone. She goes to Mexico to try and find her long-lost brother, and undergoes a transformation.
As the review on the back cover asks, "If you were to let the accumulated grief and guilt of a lifetime slip gently away, who might you be?" What a great question--I would like to find out.
