À propos de cet audio

 Bestselling author Ruth Reichl examines her mother's life-and gives voice to the unarticulated truths of a generation of exceptional women

A former New York Times restaurant critic, editor in chief of Gourmet, and the author of three bestselling memoirs, Ruth Reichl is a beloved cultural figure in the food world and beyond. Not Becoming My Mother is her openhearted investigation of the life of a woman she realizes she never really knew-her mother. Through letters and diaries-and a new afterword relating the wisdom she's gained after sharing her story-Reichl confronts the transition her mother made from a hopeful young woman to an increasingly unhappy older one and recognizes the huge sacrifices made to ensure that her daughter's life would not be as disappointing as her own.

Everyone will see something of themselves in this book. So many lessons culminating into owning up to the honour that is the life that you're given and making something useful out of it. Loved it and I surely will come back to it.

So many lessons

A sad yet common fate for many women…My mom suffered pretty much the same way - this life story is so similar to mine and others I’m sure!

Such a relatable story!

Will definitely read again, brought so many things up for me. Often times I was the daughter speaking, more often the mother she was writing about. Life comes full circle as we age.
