Memoirs aren't generally my thing, but I heard a lot about this one, so I decided to pick it up. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing and by the vivid, heartfelt imagery that punctuates each chapter.
As an only daughter who has a complicated relationship with her mother (don't we all?), I found the subject matter tough to deal with. Grief is the core of this narration and the author is very good at putting it into words. There were a couple of scenes that had me pause and close the book because I was on the verge of tears. So if you need a cathartic cry definitely go for this book!
