Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education by Stephanie Land
4.0
7/10
After first reading Maid, I was very excited to read this sequel memoir detailing Land’s experience pursuing her bachelors while still being low income and a single mother.
I definitely enjoyed this book as much as Maid, but the chapters and spacing of the story seemed a little less clear. With Maid, each chapter was named after a house she cleaned. With Class, I wasn’t sure how the book was going to end or when it was going to. The journey with Class seems more focused on her entire time in school rather than her experience solely in school.
I enjoyed learning more about Emilia and Land’s passion in writing but still find myself with a story incomplete between Maid and Class. Although there might not be a conclusive ending, I wonder if there will be another book detailing Land out of college pursuing freelance writing, navigating that world, alongside her two daughters and what that means/looks like.
