How to Forget: A Daughter's Memoir
by Kate Mulgrew
this is a good read. the vocab impressive, and the author really painted a beautiful picture. a lovely tribute to an eldest daughter's relationship with her parents. however, the entire book felt like exposition. i kept waiting for a secret to come out or the other shoe to drop and it never happened. the author bounced in between memories and the present, sometimes confusing. while this all kept me reading, it was also frustrating. in addition, the author was clearly very wealthy, which made some parts of the book unrelatable because they were so out of the norm. multiple servants, ability to travel at will by limousine or plane, top of the line medical care, fancy hotels, etc. i did enjoy the writing style. i guess i'm just not sure what the thesis of the book was. it seemed more like a collection of stories than a narrative. my favorite part of the book was the long vocab quizlet i made from the book of Words I'll Probably Never Use
