I'm bummed that what started out so beautifully ended so tragically. I don't know if I'd have picked up the book if I were aware Lucy Grealy passed away after many suicide attempts and addiction to heroin. Not that I find such things Wrong or Shameful - but honestly they hold a lot of fear and darkness for me. I want to watch La Bohème and Orpheus.
