Helpful Score: 1

Unflinchingly candid, Lucy Grealy holds a mirror up to her life and vividly relates her astonishing memoir. Powerful & lyrical, Grealy bares her loneliness and anguish in such a compelling voice, you cannot help but feel uplifted by her courageous insight. There is a moving Afterword by Grealy's best friend, Ann Patchett.

This is an excellent book to read either before or after "Truth and Beauty" by Ann Patchet ~ the memoir of their extraordinary friendship.
