I read this memoir to preview it for my book club, and I thought it was only okay. I just wasn't compelled. Is that horrible to say? There were some parts that were really vivid and painful to read, but I didn't have a good sense of place or time (a map would have helped) or political perspective. I don't think it's a good fit for a book club discussion. ]]>
