Cartwheels in a Sari: A Memoir of Growing Up Cult by Jayanti Tamm
3.0
I feel it would be unfair to Jayanti Tamm if I judged her life's story as if it were a Lifetime movie-- I felt the characters weren't explored enough, I felt her storytelling voice was a bit passionless, etc. At the end of it, I just went, "Well. That was something."
Again, I don't feel like I should pass judgement on the quality of a story that actually happened, but I do always wonder at these types of things-- how can people look back on their lives and recall exact lines of dialogue, the feeling of a moment? I feel like too much is fabricated, or embellished.
It's interesting if you want to learn more about cult life or extreme religious organizations.
