I knew going in that this one would be different from her others, just for the fact of being a memoir. I was curious if it would reveal how her personal experiences led to Maggie O’Farrell’s ability to eloquently articulate so many different kinds of stories and life experiences.
•
This book, like all her others, so beautifully captures the human experience. O’Farrell has such a gift for being able to express emotions through words and language.
•
This memoir is organized into short stories (which I loved!), and it makes for a very quick pacing. I am impressed by how O’Farrell captures her own story without telling the stories of others in this process. I think this is very powerful and important. I do wonder about the order of her stories, and I couldn’t seem to figure out a pattern or rationale. This didn’t take anything away from the book for me; it’s just a wondering I have.
•
⚠️ There are some BIG trigger warnings with this book. Make sure you look at those ahead of time so you’re aware going in if this book is going to be a good fit for you.
