Eric Orlowoski

I must confess prior going into this book I only knew little of Minnie Driver and what I did know was mostly from her acting and what I had read in the press but my goodness this book was eye opening. This is a no holds bared memoir that delves with feelings and emotions ranging from bliss to torturous heartbreak and everything in-between. Her childhood wasn’t really a childhood in the way I would class a childhood, she was forced to grow up incredibly early yet holds no resentment and instead only understanding, kindness and love for her parents which was incredibly touching.

Her mothers passing truly broke my heart and if your anything like me there will be tears so I’m warning you now to be prepared. The descriptions of her family dynamics were so well crafted and I absolutely loved the whole book. Her writing is thoughtful, witty, hilarious, unselfconscious and I really enjoyed my few days in quarantine with her while I inhaled the words. First book in two decades I’ve read cover to cover within a single sitting.

A sad ending but a real life story. Her use of language is masterful and her descriptions vividly painted.
