How to Forget: A Daughter's Memoir
by Kate Mulgrew
I hardly ever read memoirs or biographies, but sometimes they catch my eye. In this case it is the second book by Kate Mulgrew (an actress most will recognize as Captain Kathryn Janeway in Star Trek Voyager, or more recent in the series 'Orange is the new black'). A few years back she wrote 'Born with teeth', which was quite entertaining. She is a good and engaging author.
Again this is a memoir, but not so much about Kate herself, but about the relationship with her parents. She takes us on a vivid journey through their lives and deaths. Very detailed, at times very amusing or very sad, but always very entertaining. Her writing about experiences that are very private and emotional kept me glued to the pages.
I believe her stories will resonate with many. Pain, sorrow, joy and laughter, but above all else love and respect all come together in this book.
*** I requested and received a digital ARC via Edelweiss. This is my honest and voluntary review. ***
