Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy

4.0

Powerful, moving, and deeply sad, my second reading of Lucy Grealy's autobiography touched me even more than the first time I read it, probably because I know what the outcome of her life is now.
If you are ever feeling vain, sorry for yourself, or troubled about your circumstances, it might do good to step into Lucy's book for a moment a set yourself straight. Beautifully written and terribly sad, it's hard not to look away from the pages of a girl that no one could bear to look at.
