This is a graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel, author of "Fun Home." This memoir is about Alison's relationship with her mother. There are a lot of references to Freud and another psychologist, and Virginia Woolf. I really wanted to enjoy this book but felt that the near constant references to psychological issues were tedious and too heavy-handed. I liked this book, but I liked her first book, "Fun Home" better.
