I thought I would enjoy this book, but I gave up after reading about 60% of it. The author is obviously very talented, as her descriptions of the places and people from her life were very detailed and eloquently written. It was all too much though. I don't want to know about someone else's aunt or some garden to that level of detail. Nothing interesting happens; just descriptions of simple pleasures enjoyed during childhood and doing surprisingly well in school.

The book was written as though the author is talking to her unborn child, which is also weird.
