[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m mostly through Spare on audible and I am really enjoying it. Harry seemed ready to speak [b]his truth[/b] and I am impressed by his ability to process all the trauma in his life. It also lays out a clear case for the shenanigans happening between the press office and the press. It wasn’t necessarily that Camilla was calling reporters but does seem like a wink wink agreement to deflect with stories of other people. Her recent lunch with Morgan and Clarkson are definitely suspect though… my one criticism (other than not really caring for the military parts) is that he doesn’t do much reflecting on how privileged he is. He has moments of clarity - in Africa, in Afghanistan, but he has more growth ahead to fully embrace that two things can be true. He can have a truly hard and traumatic childhood AND be completely lucky to have as much privilege as he does. Given the growth he describes in his book to date I have no doubt he will get there and Meghan will likely be a big champion of his work there. [/quote]

Exactly. "His" truth is not necessarily "the" truth.[/quote]

True. And that’s true of everyone.  That’s why Spare is considered a memoir—as opposed to a biography.  I think Harry and his ghostwriter seem to have done an excellent job of providing contextual details for readers to help us better understand “his truth”.  The book also deliberately focuses on Harry’s own story and perceptions, something that I think is a strength, although a deliberately limiting one. [/quote]
