A biographer’s take on her life
Revisado: 10-23-21
That Claire Tomalin writes very well surely is not news to anybody familiar with her biographies - I was not, and now I want to read them.. That she can illuminate, humanize and make us feel at home when the subject is herself is quite extraordinary. She is a great story teller, unflinching with herself and others when needed (her cold father, her sometimes violent husband) but always compassionate, understanding, giving us the reasons why people are the way they are. You can see that she has tried very hard to include everyone relevant in her life in this book - and it is a lot of people, in a full life, and they all feel complete.
I am so happy that Ms. Tomalin took the time to share her life with us. I learned a lot from it, and I have gained perspective on my own life and that of the people around me thanks to her.
