Book Review of At Home in the World

At Home in the World
margaretlee avatar reviewed on + 171 more book reviews


Joyce writes from the heart and soul, and she tells the truth. While many have admonished her for betraying J.D. Salinger by revealing her side of the relationship, the story was hers to tell and she tells it with strength and perspective. If you are a mother or a daughter, a teenager or a woman in mid-life, you will relate to her beautiful untangling of life's complicated knots and the wisdom she has gained from that work. I own this book and will not be posting it, as it's one I read again and again when I need reminding that I'm not alone in the world. Her being 'at home in the world' helps me feel more so.
