Born with Teeth by Kate Mulgrew

4.0

I listened to the audiobook read by Mulgrew herself, and she does a great job of making the fluid, lyrical language of this memoir come alive. She is also a giant drama queen, but that is unsurprising - she is, after all, an actress! I loved all the stuff about her giant Irish Catholic family, and was profoundly moved by her descriptions of her sister's childhood illness and her mother's battle with dementia. I was less enthralled by her detailed accounts of her various love affairs, which - while beautiful rendered - were classic examples of something more exciting to experience than to read about. Overall a genuinely good read.
