This book tackles an important subject but undercuts itself. Large sections are devoted to revisiting the author’s resentment toward her father, often at the expense of the broader theme. What begins as context quickly becomes fixation, and the repeated emotional unloading feels more cathartic for the author than useful for the reader. The result is a work that confuses personal processing with thoughtful analysis.
