Pieces of Molly

Judith Gurney

4.9/5 (15883 ratings)

Description:Pieces of Molly is a memoir with a difference. Told in the first and third person, it gives a perspective on the self not often found in autobiographies. Molly can be seen as 'everychild' - the author and the reader too. Judith Gurney's unusual approach to her memoir offers a multi-faceted piecing together of a life, in which she acknowledges the unreliability of memory, and examines how we often recreate ourselves to fit in with others' hopes and desires as well as our own.'This memoir is for anyone curious about the process of change and the transition from childhood to adulthood, with all its joys and terrors, the changing relationships of parents to their children, children to parents,' says Judith.Molly's journey starts as everyone's does, in the womb. Pieces of Molly, set in an agricultural community of 50 years ago, is a map of one small girl's mind, as the barely subdued ordinary terrors of childhood lurk around her world. She is surrounded by the vibrant life of a working farm by the sea, at a time when rapid developments are forcing that world to change. Molly is a curious little detective, keen to find out more about life and love. For her, the shadows behind the doors only make sense in hindsight, and buried family secrets come to light as she struggles with the problem of how and who to be in the world.'As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist for more than 20 years, I have heard many stories, from differing points of view, and something I've seen over time is that memoirs usually present the writer's version as a single truth,' observes Judith. 'In Pieces of Molly I'm suggesting a more nuanced idea about our memories - no memory is ever a finished thing.'We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
