Book Reviews of Helen Keller: A Life
Book Review: A clear view on a not so well known Keller as we can believe
Summary: 4 Stars
I think that a lot of us were influenced by the movie "Miracle Worker" with Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft very early in their life (on TV, there was a lot of reruns in the 70's). We can make a specific portrait of what we knew about those two great beings, tantrums, black glasses, and water... The book is offering a very enjoyable and complete account of two very complex lives that goes finally beyond what we already know. Keller has been used as an example of courage and in many didactic ways (some collectors know how many children books have been published about her life.) and is part of our lives very early in age. I did not read other books concerning her but her Autobio but I would certainly recommend this one as a very informative read, by an author dedicated to her subject and looking like she gave us the best of her researches without fals emotions getting in the way...
