Search - The Liars' Club

I am always amazed when reading a memoir such as Mary Karr's The Liars' Club. I had to remind myself, several times, that this was not a work of fiction as she recounted a litany of abuse and neglect that astounded. Karr is a strong writer, and though the subject matter could have dragged one down, she told her story with wit and wisdom and actually had me laughing at times! Highly recommended!!

Gripping memoir of a girl growing up in the south during the 60's & 70's. It is at times really touching and at other very funny. If you grew up in the south, the people and places described will remind you of ones you knew. They did for me. The descriptions and the language are so perfect. I really enjoyed this one and plan on ordering the follow up.

I liked it, but did not love it. I have read other similar memoirs that I liked better. That being said, the book kept my interest. It was a dark story, but had a good message about a family's closeness enduring thorough troubled times.

This book was surprisingly great! I highly recommend it. You easily lose yourself in the story

this is a poignant,funny and sad memoir in the genre of the Glass Castle which i couldn't put down...Certainly can't relate to the craziness of the family dynamic and indeed it is quit a good read...

Fantastic writer in every way. Highly recommend this book.
