What Women Want by Maxine Mei-Fung Chung

Posted

I requested this book as I was pulled in by the eye catching front cover design and the title of the book. Finally a chance to get an insight into what other women want! I was also hoping that the book would be written in a way that it would be meaningful to buy copies for my male friends so they could understand the needs of women and what we are really looking for. 

The book is well written, and shares stories of seven different women who all have been in psychotherapy with Maxine Mei-Fung Chung for shorter or longer times. It gives a good description of the interaction between the women seeking help and the professional and how the sessions help them to develop as persons, and in some cases reclaim their own personalities. There is plenty of detail and I liked how Maxine Mei-Fung Chung guides the clients through the sessions with tender probing and open questions.

It was not at all what I expected; perhaps I read the synopsis too quickly and misunderstood the content. 

Still, it was an enlightening and empowering read.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
