This reads like fiction, and good fiction, with none of that smarmy emotionalism most autobiographical novels have. I read it in a day.
I was hooked with the dynamics of the family, who, back in the 1950s, were all psychic in some way, and seemingly totally unashamed of those skills and totally open to creativity. I just wish she had talked more about that dynamic, although it was discussed in the later portions of the book. It seemed totally plausible that this family had been together as a unit in other incarnations, and plausible that they still had their issues.
When I finished, I still felt like I needed to make sure this woman was real, and not a fictionalized account. It was not totally what I had hoped, but it was more than I expected.
