** spoiler alert ** There comes a time in everyone's life where they are faced with conflicting thoughts. On one hand...the basis of my rating, this book is very well written. Anais Nin has such a poetic way of writing. I almost feel as if I'm in Paris with her. On the other hand, the conflicting thought I couldn't help but be mildly disturbed that not only did she sleep with her father, but she also aborted a six month old child. *Which may or may not have been commonplace in that time period* However even with the questionable content I still give this novel (or diary) five stars. Anais Nin writes in a way where you can (somewhat) relate to her thoughts, and even if you can't relate you can from some place in your mind or heart understand. Overall I enjoyed this volume of her diary and I plan on reading the others.
