This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff

3.0

A good memoir of a boy's difficult childhood and adolescence, growing up with an uncertain mother and an abusive stepfather.

It was gripping at many points, but I found my attention wandering. I've learned that memoir is not my preferred genre, possibly because it is hard to shift the narrative away from 'this happened; then this other thing happened.'
