Description
In the vein of Margaret Renkl and Terry Tempest Williams comes an engaging new memoir exploring different notions of ritual--from the literary to the theological, from childhood to adulthood, and from the everyday to the extraordinary.
Using experiences, objects, and practices, Wendy A. Horwitz weaves personal stories with reflections on rituals that might provide solace, celebration, and transition at different points in life. Rather than a chronology, the chapters in Milkweed and Honey Cake create a collage of memories that are linked by themes. Some are more impressionistic while others are more narrative, but they all raise questions about searching for and creating meaning through different stages of life. Through these stories and vignettes, Horwitz examines the limits of ritual: the extent to which we can share each other's practices or create new ones, and the times when rituals fall short.
Intending to inspire and provide rather than prescribe, Milkweed and Honey Cake is an accessible, enriching memoir that searches the religious, secular, and natural worlds that fill our lives with meaning.
