Alison does such a good job at letting you in to her life that her story feels relatable, despite it being such a unique set of circumstances

It was very good, and relatively thought provoking but I didn't really love it. Then again, memoir are not often my favourite, and neither are sad books.

The complex relationship the author has with her father and how she tries to relate to him through literature makes for a deeply touching, tragic story. I think it is elevated further because I read her other books to gain more perspective on her life after her father’s death.

This is a classic for a reason. It's so layered and complex while also so efficient and straightforward.
