A review by bookabecca
Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education by Stephanie Land

reflective fast-paced

3.0

A follow up to Maid, this memoir of Land’s was a little less cohesive and poignant. Still, it’s a very readable, vulnerable personal account of poverty, particularly as it relates to single-parenting and access to higher education. Like Land’s previous book, I wanted more structural analysis and research, but Land is very adamant in interviews that she’s not that kind of writer. There were definitely portions of the book that felt rambly and lacked depth. But in the end, I kinda like that she just does her own thing unapologetically.
