Michele H. (winslet2) reviewed on 6/1/2017 + 3 more book reviews

This book is a memoir written by someone who has had too many classes in fiction writing and not enough experience with non-fiction. She kept the themes about family and relationships running throughout the book, and described things in detail, sometimes minutely and excruciatingly. As a writer she is much better suited to fiction than this memoir. It was a really tough read. I did like the last essay added in the back at "A Reader's Guide". If the book was just a series of essays in stead of these long drawn out chapters, it would have worked much better, I think.
