Dervishes

Carolyn Anderson is a physicist in a crisis. Too young to have a midlife crisis and too old for teenage angst, Carolyn begins a diary in an attempt to diagnose her mental state.This journey takes her from St. Cloud, Minnesota to Seattle, Washington; from a lover named Philip to a lover named Stephanie; and from a mayoral primary to a feminist rally. Confronting poignant and controversial topics with wisdom and humor, Dervishes follows Carolyn as she finds her place in the world and captures, with an almost impossible eloquence, the complexities of her life.
