You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith

4.13 AVERAGE

3.5
emotional medium-paced
Beautiful, lyrical essay gems befitting the talented, Maggie Smith. Every devastating passage of the end of a marriage, the author never intended to end,  is deeply experienced through poignant prose on this unwanted journey. Which also is the reason, I gave this “not a memoir,” a 3.5 as opposed to the 5 it truly deserves if only scoring writing excellence. However, I found that after awhile, it became exhausting to walk with Maggie through every step of the marriage’s end. The shorter, yet powerful self standing essays were more satisfying for me.

I’d give this book more than 5 stars if I could. I’ve never *needed* to read something quite like I needed to read this.
