Dorothy Day: The World Will Be Saved By Beauty: An Intimate Portrait of My Grandmother by Kate Hennessy

2.0

Too much emoting, not nearly enough detail of the later years of Dorothy’s life, and the author lost sight of her subject far too often as she gazed in repetitive navel-gazing and a lot of projection. It’s an interesting enough take on the early years of the Dorothy’s social activism but it deteriorates once the focus shifts to Dorothy’s daughter. This is really a vehicle for the author to work out her own issues.
