Review

"Fans of THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES will enjoy the retelling of the period in Monk Kidd's life when she was conceiving and creating the novel.... The book is heavy on introspection and light on plot, but any mother or daughter would enjoy and relate to the touching struggle of developing a close relationship as adult women."

Publisher's note

The award-winning author of The Secret Life of Bees and her daughter describe their introspective journeys to Greece and France, during which they reconnected while Sue grappled with midlife challenges and writer's block and Ann struggled with heartbreak and post-college career questions.

An introspective and beautiful dual memoir by the #1 "New York Times" bestselling novelist and her daughter
Sue Monk Kidd has touched millions of readers with her novels "The Secret Life of Bees" and "The Mermaid Chair" and with her acclaimed nonfiction. In this intimate dual memoir, she and her daughter, Ann, offer distinct perspectives as a fifty-something and a twenty-something, each on a quest to redefine herself and to rediscover each other.
Between 1998 and 2000, Sue and Ann travel throughout Greece and France. Sue, coming to grips with aging, caught in a creative vacuum, longing to reconnect with her grown daughter, struggles to enlarge a vision of swarming bees into a novel. Ann, just graduated from college, heartbroken and benumbed by the classic question about what to do with her life, grapples with a painful depression. As this modern-day Demeter and Persephone chronicle the richly symbolic and personal meaning of an array of inspiring figures and sites, they also each give voice to that most protean of connections: the bond of mother and daughter.
A wise and involving book about feminine thresholds, spiritual growth, and renewal, "Traveling with Pomegranates" is both a revealing self-portrait by a beloved author and her daughter, a writer in the making, and a momentous story that will resonate with women everywhere.

Annotation

Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter Ann Kidd Taylor co-wrote this moving memoir which documents several trips they took together while they were each on the verge of embarking on a new stage of their life. In 1998, Sue Monk Kidd had just turned 50 and was looking for the activity and purpose which would drive her now that her family had grown, while her daughter Ann was fresh out of college, but had been denied acceptance to the graduate program she most coveted. While traveling through Greece, Turkey, and France, the Kidd women found solace in sharing their hopes and struggles with each other and in studying the legacies of mythological and spiritual women such as Persephone, Demeter, Athena, and the Virgin Mary. As they alternate chapters detailing their own enlightening experiences on their trips together, the line between mother, daughter, and woman blurs just enough to make us realize that our individual lives and choices might often be defined as finer, more personal versions of universal processes.
