Fierce Attachments: A Memoir by Vivian Gornick

4.0

This book swept me up and carried me along. I was completely mesmerized. I’d expected it to be about Gornick’s complex relationship with her mother - and it is. But it’s also about discovering herself as a writer, as a sexual being, as a woman and how she explores and honors each of those aspects of herself - as well as her fierce attachment to her mother.
