Commune of Women is a novel about six women, trapped together in a small room, who must use their slender resources to survive and prevail by sharing everything: their hope and fear; their food; and their life stories, which grow deeper, darker and more intimate as the days pass.

Quote of the Day
Books lie in wait for our readiness.
--Bruno Bettelheim
I had the pleasure, on Tuesday, to meet with Carolyn Marsh and her book club, the Dust Jacket Divas, of Des Moines, by telephone for a Q&A regarding Commune of Women. What a fun and lively group! I was pleased, as well, by their intelligent reading of Commune of Women, their insightful comments and penetrating questions, during our all-too-brief hour together. I admire groups like this one which, for 8 years, has been reading and considering and questioning. This kind of intellectual curiosity and sense of community represents a true commune of women.
