jjaylynny 's review for:
Becoming Duchess Goldblatt
by Duchess Goldblatt
I'm not sure why I'm so impatient with a book/story/author that is nothing but gracious, but I am.
The memoir part, about the author's turbulent growing up, her marriage's dissolution, her connection with her son, I found harrowing, poignant, to the point that I found myself tearful for her. The decision/accident/whatever of creating Duchess, I found twee as shit. And Duchess herself, though I get that she's not overly precious, just doesn't move my 'twee as shit' needle either. Maybe I should be a better person. People who don't like Duchess Goldblatt or Ove from A Man Called Ove should maybe just sit in a room together and glare.
