A Place Called Home

Mickey Pearlman, ed.

St. Martin’s Press, $21.95

Pearlman has collected essays by 20 of America’s best-known women writers, ranging from Sandra Benitez to Erica Jong to Meg Pei to Jane Shapiro, who share their reflections on home and its meaning. While some create loving descriptions, there also is the pain of racism, anti-Semitism, loneliness and loss.
