Dissolve

Beschreibung

All around you are little warning signs, yet you do not heed them. You sense you need to find the gift of a man who will let you be free to do what you really want in life. Write. But you are tumbling into the vastness of a consuming passion. It is the willing violation of the clear, hard, glittery core of who you really are, but you don't care. Because you have in your grasp what you've always wanted. Love. Having lived through the humiliation and bewildering complexity of heartbreak in her twenties, Nikki Gemmell eventually resurfaced, reclaimed space for herself and found her voice. Decades later she was written Dissolve, a meditation on women's lives and creative desires. This is a deeply personal, profoundly intimate reflection on love and female creativity, and what happens when the two collide in a man's world.
