If you're a sympathetic reader, one can ruin you on the other. We're talking about real people here, so it's hard to remain objective and read the words without feeling like you're taking sides.

Read "Autobiography of a Face" first. It's better written, plain and simple, no matter whose take on Lucy is correct- hers or Ann's. Heh- I guess I choose "beauty" over "truth."

1375138 I read Truth and Beauty first - and liked it more than Autobiography of a Face but am now wondering if I would have liked it more if I'd read Face first...

Nophoto-f-25x33 Sorry. I haven't read Face, only Patchett. So many books, so little time. I'd love to hear the answer to your question though.

289941 I read Patchett's book first, and am intrigued by Grealy - "Autobiography of a face" is on my list to read.

Nophoto-u-25x33 Although I haven't read Truth and Beauty yet, I think a good companion book to this one would be Lucy Grealy's own book, Autobiography of a Face.
