What a Tale My Thoughts Will Tell by John Edwards (Book Review #1463)

‘What a Tale My Thoughts Will Tell’ is a memoir about John Edwards having to self-reflect as he writes about his life, marriage, and kids. He navigates all his troubles, humanizing all the impacts life events have put him through.

After school and finding love, he discusses his children, building a family and all the emotional connections he makes. As the marriage falls apart, he finds it very hard to deal with all it entails. You see him fighting and trying to savour whatever he can just to keep afloat, but while doing so, he understands that there is hope and meaning to his solitude. I appreciated that.

The memoir is written well. The honesty and self-reflection segments take you to the core and source of all-natural human feelings. I cherished this, as you rarely see this in memoirs. I recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this author.
