An Extraordinary Book.

Written almost matter of factly this book tells the story of an extraordinary childhood where the parents are somehow artistic, wonderful, awful and cruel - all at the same time.
The strength of the writing draws us in immediately, and despite the sometimes harrowing tale, this is no misery memoir.
The fact that this writer grew up to tell this tale so eloquently and without bitterness or self-pity is not only a credit to her but is also quite amazing.
