Description: Anaïs Nin's Ladders to Fire interweaves the stories of several women, each emotionally inhibited in her own way: through self-doubt, fear, guilt, moral drift, and distrust. The novel follows their inner struggles to overcome these barriers to happiness and wholeness.
Review Quotes: "Anaïs Nin writes sensitively, with psychological training as well as insight.... She has a subcutaneous interest in her characters and Lawrence's sixth sense."--Times Literary Supplement
