Cathleen's Reviews > Blow Your House Down: A Story of Family, Feminism, and Treason

This memoir is unique in its style, its blunt anger, and something a little less tangible that I can’t quite put my finger on. Like many memoirs, it definitely falls into the oversharing category and I found myself feeling a bit sorry for, angry for, and / or ashamed for people who would recognize themselves in this narrative. There’s a lot to stomach here, from infidelity to foreign adoptions, violence against women to mental illness, divorce to cancer. It’s so raw that at times left me feeling a bit chafed.
