Alternates lovely prose, sly observations and a quite barren and sad childhood. But, though Damon paints a lonely, dismal existence in some respects, she has grabbed the best of it and relishes it. Her grandma has never hugged, caressed or praised her; yet she knows the love is fierce. Grandma is devoted to duty and sacrifice, but on her own terms.

Complex. I will be glad to be done with it, but I’ve already ordered her other book, A Sense of Humus.
