Clark Strand, Perdita Finn: Way of the Rose (2019, Random House Publishing Group) 2 stars

Before a vision of a mysterious "Lady" invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray …

Disappointing Marian Devotion wrapped up in Misogyny

2 stars

Everything is a womb if you try hard enough! Quite disappointed, was hoping for a lot more from a book focusing on the rosary and Mary outside of organised christianity. I found Perdita's chapters to be insightful and caring (bumping from a one star to a two), but the other chapters were short and began to become repetitive. I think this would've benefitted from longer chapters with citations for some of the historical & ecological claims. On top of all of the previous, a good chunk of the book read as though Clark Strand had just found out women are also people with feelings and thoughts. The appendix and practical information on the rosary was fine though.
