Teen Prayers by Teens Book

On Pilgrimage was a book read for my book club, and I admit that without the challenge of finishing it in time for discussion (which I failed!), I may not have persevered. I found the book to be full of gold, but as it was a little unstructured, it felt like panning in muddy waters for the treasure. I hadn't had time to read the introduction, or any supporting material, so at times I was a little loss as to the context, and the juxtaposition of the household descriptions(which I found delightful) and the political discussions (which I found intriguing) was unusual. Despite the fact that I didn't actually enjoy the book, I am glad to have read it, and hope to return to the many places where I highlighted well-expressed ideas and phrases.
