Writing Memoirs
A.M. Homes has a voice all her own and in this touching memoir her startling back story comes to light. A great book on identity and what it means to define one’s family.
“The fragile, fragmented narrative, the thin line of the story, the plot of my life, has been abruptly recast. I am dealing with the divide between biology and sociology: the chemical necklace of DNA that wraps around neck sometimes like a beautiful ornament – our birthright, our history – and other times like a choke chain.”
- The Mistress’s Daughter by A.M. Homes
