Sweet Charlotte's Seventh Mistake


This is book is- in presentation a cross between an artist’s sketchbook and a graphic novel memoir, the pages are beautiful and the writing equally so.

Its written in short sections which moves the narrative about in the author’s perseonal timeline, which makes it a really quick but worthwhile read. Due to this timeine jumping the story of the author’s childhood and geneology is built up gradually so we as the reader have as many questions, as at times in the book, the author herself has.

I would recommend this book to people who like Artists scrapbooks, graphic novel memoirs (in particular Fun Home- Alison Bechdel), or people who enjoy narratives about non traditional childhoods/or troubled mother daughter relationships.
