emotional reflective medium-paced

“Sometimes when I was working on this book, I bristled at the whole project of this memoir: a daughter trying to come to terms with the loss of a mother. But I never had Erica Jong. How can you lose something you never had?”

Man, I felt this book! It took a minute to get used to the author's narration in audio, but once I did, the whole thing felt even more intimate. While I had no idea who her famous mother was, I could relate to so many parts of what she was writing about. For better or worse, there is something to be said about the universality (and yet very specific perspectives) of experience.
