I don't guess I've had enough years of being married (although almost 28)! And though my children are grown, I still am not up to reading this yet! A group I read with did however read it this past summer- the trilogy- and all appreciated it. I did read portions and the writing is exquisite.
It is like the book A Lantern in Her Hand- one, I believe, has to have come to terms with some things in their own lives that will allow them to enjoy the story.
I read Pearl Buck's 'The Good Earth' quite a few years ago & it was just the wrong time for me. It scarred me so much that even now I can't bring myself to re-read it.
