Orgeluse | 481 comments I have to check availability at my local library as the shipping fee from the US is the same amount as the paperback itself :((
Unfortunately there is no kindle version, or is there? So far, I have not found any...

I ordered the Kindle version which includes her novel Mary as well, for 3.99 euro.

George P. | 253 comments I bought a hardback copy new from thriftbooks.com for $5.60 US. w/ shipping. I am about 30% through so far, and am enjoying the read. The university library here has copies, but not being a student or faculty I'm not allowed to enter now due to the pandemic.
This book is in the Feminista list of best books by women in the 20th century. It makes my 30th book from that list. http://www.librarything.com/bookaward...
