You Could Make This Place Beautiful: A Memoir by Maggie Smith

4 reviews

elderwoodreads's review against another edition

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

My main criticism of this book is that Smith spends a lot of time setting boundaries with the reader about her story, specifically around her kids, yet she tells a very vulnerable story about her son at one point.

Spoiler

where he says he does not feel like has a family

Past that I think this was a great reflective work and story of both a marriage and a divorce. I will be seeking out more of Smith's work later.
