The Yellow House: A Memoir by Sarah M. Broom

3.0

This book is so detailed, even my detail loving self felt like it was tedious. The intricate family back stories weren’t hard to follow because the pacing was so slow, but then it was so slow I would constantly have to put this down for fear I was losing focus. The second half which included how Katrina affected her family and their Yellow House was the most riveting. That could have been a book all on its own, in my opinion. Overall I think Bloom’s story is a powerful one, but I was just so bogged down by the details that I’d recommend for those with the stamina to stay with it.
