### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Beautifully written, but most important thing missing
  

*by O***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020*

This is a beautifully written book, cleverly twining the two writers' experiences of illness, writing, and the way their love of women is erased or negated by how society defines love and regards sexual relationships between women.For me, though, there was a gaping hole at the center: the letters that the author relies on so heavily as evidence of McCullers' passionate feelings for her former therapist were subject to restriction and could not be quoted but for one or two short passages.  This means we rely on the author filtering her impressions of the letters for us and have to depend on her resulting judgment.However, toward the end of the book I began to feel that in a way this lack was somehow appropriate: it structurally embodies the willful erasure of McCullers' passions by decades of biographers and critics, and how the author has to approach it circumlocutiously: is it there or not?  Is it real or not?  How can such love be "proven" to have existed?Ultimately I was so touched by the book that I, who have never really been interested in McCullers, went back and read The Member of the Wedding, which I last read forty years ago.  I was astonished at how magnificent a book it is, how accomplished, how compelling.  Now I'm going through more of McCullers' books -- which I think is the best outcome of a biography-through-memoir.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Truly, Great Read
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020*

Set aside the unique approach and structure of this lovely work. This young woman can write. An author like this comes along rarely, at least in my lifetime. Shapland's combination of sentence structure, choice of words, and peppered with just the right amount of humor make this a truly, great read. I highly recommend. Don't miss this loving book.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    More about the author than about McCullers.
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2021*

I was very eager to find a good biography of Carson McCullers. Unfortunately I didn't pay adequate attention to the title: MY AUTObiography of Carson McCullers. I only read a few chapters before I became weary of the author's  comparison of her own life to McCullers'. It just wasn't what I was looking for.  Just want to give a heads up!
