Amy Mcclellan’s Reviews > Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature > Status Update

I say I don’t like memoirs, but I do like this one. I’ve been highlighting her book references to look up later. In the preface, Owens said out of respect and privacy, she didn’t mention her ex-husband or her kids by name. HOWEVER, this is a deeply personal memoir and to never even mention falling in love, getting married and then divorced from her first husband is nonsensical.
