A Natural Woman: A Memoir
by Carole King
by Carole King
I just started this last night. I read the sample and had to buy it. I adored Carole King's Tapestry, one of my favorite albums as a teen. And I love memoir, especially memoir of someone who has a talent and tries to make it with their art. I love that moment when, wow, they are on their way to supporting themselves by their art. And then superstardom. So far, I like it will add more when I finish. Okay, finished. Most of the time, King gives all the answers. I don't think she spent enough time on the Tapestry section. For example, who wrote the song lyrics? (I didn't know before but she writes the music and usually her partner writes lyrics). She was brave in other parts, especially about an abusive husband. Fame brings a lot of users out and as much as she tried to be smart, sometimes men used her. At the end of the book she hinted at another memoir. But for me, this one covered the bases. Most of the time.
