A vapid “go find yourself” book

Absolutely narcissistic narrator. The author tried to paint Barbara as a victim in the story because other characters rightly point out how lazy, selfish, and prideful she is. Her husband sacrifices years to be a doctor to the poor in “Siam” and all she does is whine that she couldn’t play a minor role in an Opera. This line kills me, “the center of my life shifted from music to Harvey” (pg. 329)
