In this episode of Parra Pods Katherine & Nisa asked themselves why do some memoirs resonate so much with people?
Michelle Obam's 'Becoming was City of Parramatta Libraries most borrowed non-fiction title so far in 2019. Her spouse Barak Obama was the President of the United States for eight years, yet it is she who has garnered both popular and critical acclaim for this "tell it like it is" memoir.
Sally Fields is a Hollywood legend and, an Oscar recipient, here is her memoir about growing up in a dysfunctional family, overcoming the limitations of her early career playing the “Flying Nun” & “Gidget”. Finally forging a career that has afforded her longevity as an actress, but more importantly finding peace with the dark secret that cast a shadow over her life.
Some of the books discussed in this podcast include:
- Becoming by Michelle Obama. London, Viking, 2018
- In Pieces by Sally Fields London, Simon & Schuster, 2018
