A review by kimberlyf
Life Among the Savages by Shirley Jackson

5.0

Adored this short memoir. This is Jackson’s first memoir and it was so incredibly fun to spend time within these pages, within her mind and life. She is so funny, witty, and observant. There is an extensive use of dialogue in this memoir which, along with the cadence of the narrative, made the book read like short fiction tales.
A loving tribute to the joys and trials of motherhood and her love for her kids.
