I've had this book suggested to me as I think about memoir and creative nonfiction, which is my current area of interest when it comes to writing in the popular understanding of the act.
Some of you may know that I have an interest in the circumstances of the 1950's American housewife. It will make perfect sense, then, that I'd be interested in reading this little number by Jean Kerr with a copyright date of 1957. While searching for a digital copy of the book I came across this website offering to let me read it for free. I'm pretty sure this isn't illegal. I hope. Just find your preferred format (the .mobi version seems a bit poorly formatted, but the pdf appears to be in good shape and can be read on a Kindle as well, which is all I wanted) and read along with me.
I'm really excited to get started on this one, as I'm also currently reading An Unquiet Mind and, while it's fascinating and well written and entirely relevant to my goals in memoir, it's also very heavy and rich and I need something to cut it with. Like a slice of double chocolate chip cheesecake with some black coffee. You know what I mean.
Anyone else read Daisies or going to read it with me? Let me know in the comments!
