Solstice by Carol Gilligan was a book focused on characters and how their interactions and their choices made a difference in life. The book shows the ups and downs of their marriage and relationships. The book is broken into sections with different years and progresses with their relationship.
Eve is a dancer and then later a choreographer. Her views through her marriage are often interjected with the new piece she is working on. Gabe’s past is a key part of his journey as a child who escaped the Nazi. Gabe is a writer and publisher. They moved due to his job and had three children. There were clashes, injustices, and betrayal, but all along there is a life built together.
The book is not meant to be read quickly. There are moments that require thought and reflection on women and their roles as the years change. Solstice is a deep look into people and a marriage. Solstice by Carol Gilligan was a good read.
I gave this book three stars mostly because it wasn’t my type of book. I think for others people the rating might be higher.
