Roxanne is our most dedicated memoir reader.

Here are three recent life stories that she recommends.

Alphabetical Diaries by Sheila Heti

Roxanne says:

Certain locations and author lectures have inspired me to write, but never a book: until this one! Meditative and comforting, proof we're all muddling in this world together!

Lifeform by Jenny Slate

Roxanne says:

Jenny Slate is a one of a kind-a vulnerable human willing to bare her soul in a witty, funny metaphysical narrative. Themes include relationships, motherhood and the golden rule.

The Outrun by Amy Liptrot

Roxanne says:

Amy Liptrot's coming of age tale and analysis of a drinking problem spiraling out of control is not preachy, nor mundane. Her writing about returning to her family home on a remote island north of Scotland is saturated with nature sounds and our universal need for belonging.
