Book Review of The Museum of Failures

The Museum of Failures
njmom3 avatar reviewed on + 1389 more book reviews


More than failures, The Museum of Failures by Thrity Umrigar is all about secrets â family secrets and the resulting trauma that children carry into adulthood and their own journey into parenthood. The book packages this family's entire history from before Remy's birth until his now-middle-age into a neat and tidy ending. This, to me, lessons the impact of this story. Nevertheless, an emotional family story and a depiction of the immigrant experience that will stay with me.
