Yarn: Remembering the Way Home by Kyoko Mori

4.0

Absolutely one of the best memoirs I've ever read. Mori effortlessly navigates through so much subject matter you're left wondering how it's possible you never felt overwhelmed, lost, or disjointed. She talks about ordinary struggles with place, identity, career, relationships, family, fiber arts, and life in a way that is accessible and lovable by all of us with similarly regular lives. She makes that which is ordinary seem extraordinary, and that which is extraordinary seem understandable to folks without that experience. The most delightful part of her style is that she does not lead or preach. So many memoirs nudge you in a way you're supposed to feel or give a conclusion. She doesn't. She just tells it like it is. She tells you what she thinks of any particular situation and how you feel about it is your own. I will be reading everything she's written now.
