For everyone who has enjoyed the pranks and schemes, embarrassing moments, and all of the other poignant and colorful images of childhood brought to life in Beverly Cleary books, here is the fascinating true story of the remarkable woman who created them. I didn't read much Beverly Cleary growing up but a discussionof fave childhood books at book club lead to picking this as next month's read. I was pleasantly suprised and completely engaged by it. She strikes a good balance of seeing life at the age she was at and adding in some reflections of a grownup. I loved her independent spirit and righteous indignation. Her continued difficult relationship with her Mother was the hard part but I think she was sensitive and caring, as much as she could be. A very unexpected and enjoyable read. I was a bit dissapointed as I was hoping for a bit more...into her later years. However, I did discover that there is a second book. Mainly curiosity as she was born in the town a stones throw from me and raised in Portland, Oregon. AND of course I read her childrens stories as my children have also. As to whether or not to read the second memoir....I might. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
