pickRead this in one day which always provides more of an emotional punch. The author writes of her life with her mother, a wild, magnetic, emotionally disturbed woman who has suffered through much of her life as a result of her upbringing and her own choices. It‘s a roller coaster ride written by a loving daughter and a fascinating read. This won‘t be a book for everyone, though, that‘s for sure. Long list - #bookerprizeinternational2022
LeahBergen Great review! 👍 2y
Suet624 @LeahBergen Thank you, Leah. 2y
batsy This sounds great. I'm trying to read the books from the longlist that I think won't make the cut, because as usual I've left it too late. Hopefully this one makes the shortlist! 2y

Suet624 @batsy it‘s hard to keep up with all the reading! After the Tournament of Books crowned the wrong winner I‘m a little sour. Of course the TOB is a silly yet lively competition. The results can feel very random. Let‘s hope the Booker keeps its head and delivers. 😊 2y
