Helpful Score: 1
I read this book all in one sitting; I literally could not put it down. Harrison's writing style in her memoir is vaguely reminiscent of Joyce Carol Oates, poetic and evocative. Every moment described with a clarity that is frequently lacking in memoirs, bringing the reader into the mind of the author.
The Kiss is beautiful, and horrifying. Basically telling the story of a slow spiral dance of destruction circling around the author's mother whom she loves terribly, and the father she never knew.
A beautiful book, and an excellent read for anyone who has interest the psychology of abuse. . . but one I don't think I could bear to read again.
