Ten Circles Upon the Pond is a book for anyone who’s ever
lived in that unwieldy group called family—a story of passion,
intimacy, work, religion, puberty, love and loss, and the struggle
to be steadfast in times of enormous social change. Rooted in
real-life experience, this unique, beautifully written collection
of essays reads like a novel—full of lively characters, spirited
dialogue, and a landscape that takes you from Iowa to the high
country of Wyoming and Montana. As the chapters unfold, one focused
on each child, Virginia Tranel and her husband search for the ideal
place to raise the five daughters and five sons born to them
between 1957 and 1978.
Tranel artfully weaves daily moments with world events as she
reflects on how our culture affects our decisions. She offers
candid observations on everything from her reproductive choices and
feminism’s influence on her thinking to sibling rivalries and her
family’s emotional response when an architect son emails firsthand
reports of the horrors of September 11. Whether considering the
issues intrinsic to marriage and child-raising, or questioning her
own common sense, her insights are always provocative and deeply
moving.
