Book Reviews of The Woman I Am
Book Review: the multifaceted woman she is
Summary: 5 Stars
i was knocked for a loop by reddy's memoir!
i was impressed by the taut use of language and how she always managed to keep a tone of warmth and conversation without giving in to floridness or hyperbole--excepting one chapter.
i was enjoyably enlightened by her exploration of her career. it became a dream fulfilled not only for her but for her parents as well. and i was inspired by her love for them, in spite of their own faults and weaknesses.
but i think i was most blown away by how her iconic status as a symbol of womanhood has not muddied her version or her perception of who she was or is. and how that experience, to her, is an experience that is defining, but not all-defining. when she stepped away from it to study metaphysics and be a grandmother, it seemed the most natural thing.
it also seemed natural to speak about her life and not drop a bunch of names along the way except for those that have impacted her the most. she has not kissed and told and she leaves some of that for the reader to surmise--and wisely so.
i could have lived without the chapters on the royals of britain, but other than that, this is a sterling example of a memoir by a public figure!
