Lucky is an extremely powerful memoir of Alice Sebolds rape as a freshman at Syracuse university. Im drawn to this primarily because Ive got a boatload of daughters, but grew up in a house of boys, and I suspect my understanding of the dangers of the world that confronts women is woefully understated, and fear that Im raising them to be far more trusting of the world than they really should be.
Its a powerful tale. Gripping. A book thats very easy to dive into and not come out until youre finished with it. Its been written with the feeling of a dispassionate reporter mixed in with a deep connection with emotion. And I do feel more aware, and more educated after having read it. A good feeling; one that I hope to keep with me.
4 of 5 stars.
