My Thoughts on You Could Make This Place Beautiful

Hello and happy Saturday. I think I’ve told you that I’m slowly but surely getting into memoirs, which has been a nice discovery. A few months ago, I read You Could Make This Place Beautiful, a memoir by Maggie Smith in which she goes over her divorce, and all that it entails. Even though this isn’t an issue I’ve experienced, and hopefully it’s one I never do, it was easy to connect with the author and all she went through. She is a poet, and there are references to her work, as well as a couple of poems interspersed, which added to the reading experience. It wasn’t a particularly hard book to read, but I think it’s worth taking your time, absorbing it.
