Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson

3.0

Well-written memoir of Jeanette Winterson's early life (the true version, not the one in "Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit") and her search for her birth mother, including a bout of madness. Her early life is the most moving of all the parts, possibly because the passage of time has given her more perspective and objectivity. The more recent past is still clouded in very strong emotion so doesn't have the rich patina of her account of her early life.
