Description
Grand Becoming My Mother's Daughter by Noelle McCarthy is a deeply moving and surprisingly funny memoir about understanding her mother and making sense of their lives. Carol, Noelle's mother, rages against her life and everything she has lost in pubs all over Cork City, while Noelle struggles with an appetite for self-destruction. Despite fame and success within her grasp, Noelle cannot escape the spiral of life spiraling out of control. This memoir is a dazzlingly honest account of becoming a modern woman, as Noelle pulls back from the brink at thirty and tries to make peace with her mother before she dies.
