[quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed the book because of the major themes of how a person creates an independent sense of self versus the environment they live in, and the bigger idea of what is our story of human history and who are the people who write our history. What I thought she did well was showing the internal conflict and the costs of doing so. Trying to reconcile the “truth” about her family with the story misses the point IMO. That’s why memoirs have limitations as literary works. Though this one hits some big themes beyond her personal history in a very compelling way and has more layers. And that’s why I’ll keep thinking about this book.[/quote]
