On the Look-out; A Partial Autobiography
A middle-aged, single, and childless Irish female columnist recalls her impoverished childhood, discusses writing and relationships (including sex!), and reflects on aging. I found her courageous look at her life to be heartwarming, funny, sad, and enlightening. Her insights are charming and honest. She is sincere both about her accomplishments and regrets.
Her story jumps around which bothered me until I realized that it reflects her personal confusion with her life, especially her lonely and unloved childhood. Alas, by the final chapters I recognized far too many of my own insecurities in her story and could understand and relate to the pain which drove her to and away from the love she so longed to share.
This is one of the few books that I recommend on audio as the author tells her story as no one else could.
