The Taste of Anger: A Memoir

The Taste of Anger: A Memoir grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go. From the first sentence to the last, you are drawn in. It is well written, with vividly detailed imagery from the eyes, thoughts and perceptions of a child. The author makes it easy for the reader to “see” and “feel” what is happening to her and her siblings. Born into a time when abuse was rarely acknowledged, you truly feel her struggle to understand, to wonder why, to cope, to survive, to hope. At the end, I am left wanting to know what happened next to all of them. I would definitely look forward to a “Part 2” from Vonglis-Parnell.
