Customer Reviews

a great concept - short stories woven together for a 'novel'

My husband and I both loved this book, and we're very particular. The concept of the book was special - each story would stand on its own, yet together they wove an intricate story of complex characters [ more complex than one can get with just a short story]. The charaters come to life quickly, they are engaging - you want to know more and like some more than others. I particularly liked each of the children for different reasons - the son because one rarely hears about the life of a male heterosexual dancer; and the daughter because, well you'll have to see for yourself. I highly recommend the book to any sophistocated reader.

Kobin - A Great Discovery

I was totally delighted to discover Joann Kobin's book, Woman Made of Sand. Finally, a book written by an intelligent, mature woman for mature readers. (and people of all ages!) Kobin tells a story of complex family life with insight and wisdom. She has an ability to capture the exquisite pleasures and pains of subtle moments in the everyday lives of any nuclear family. I relished each page of these interwoven stories, and was reluctant to leave the characters when I finished the book. So glad that Woman Made of Sand is now available in paperback so that more people can share the discovery of Kobin's literary talent.
