Book Reviews of The Liars' Club: A Memoir
Book Review: "Liar's Club" Pulls No Punches
Summary: 5 Stars
Mary Karr's book, "Liar's Club" should be required reading for all memoirists.
Karr lays bare her horrendous childhood and sexual abuse with a painfully truthful yet poignant and laugh-out-loud funny story of her love-hate relationship with an extraordinary (and extraordinarily frustrated) mother, a candidate for a good shrink if there ever was one. Fortunately she has a father who is her rock, at least when he's not drinking.
As is the case in many such situations, Karr and her older sister learn to cope by relying on each other for support. I can see why it has endured and is recommended by so many therapists.
From Karr's recounting of her early panic to her final absolution, I loved this book.
--Mary Lynn Archibald, author of the memoir "Accidental Cowgirl: Six Cows, No Horse and No Clue."
