Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage by Dani Shapiro

3.0

I really liked her memoir Devotion, so I expected to like this one better. There were beautifully written passages that made me pause and reflect, but there were long stretches that left me cold. There’s something in her tone that feels off: her glaring blind spots to her own privilege? Her complete lack of humor and joy? I’m glad I read it, and yet I’m not sure I’d recommend it to anyone else.
