Book Reviews of Hilary and Jackie: The True Story of Two Sisters Who Shared a Passion, a Madness and a Man
Book Review: More questions than answers
Summary: 4 Stars
A touching and disturbing memoir of a family forced to deal with a superbly talented child whose behavior was disturbing, even shocking. Was her emotional lability an early warning of the MS? Should she not have been provided with expert psychiatric care early on? Were Hilary and her husband enablers in truly bizarre acting out? Was this book necessary at this early time; Barenboin seems justified in his displeasure.I found it both fascinating but in some ways repellent. Jackie is a tragic figure. I do not believe that her family helped, and they forgave themselves for their misguided attempts to salvage her talent.
