This was really good- for a memoir, it read just like a novel. Whereas many memoirs have an inherent sense of distance in relaying the events and experiences of their past, this one had a real sense of immediacy. There were very few sentences that relayed anything of the future - no real hints as to how it all "turned out." She is a very talented writer and I would read just about anything else that she wrote. I was just impressed by the whole book. It was very emotional, and just... quite excellent.
