Book Review of The Liars' Club

The Liars' Club
The Liars' Club
Author: Mary Karr
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed One of the very best of the memoir genre on
Helpful Score: 2


This, and Angela's Ashes, began my love affair with memoirs. This is a beautifully written book. Karr tells the story of her often horrific childhood from a place of forgiveness and with affection. If you grew up in Texas in the 60s/70s, this book will also resonate with you.
