Blending memories and family myths, Mary McCarthy takes us back to the twenties, when she was orphaned in a world of relations as colourful, potent and mysterious as the Catholic religion. There were her grandmothers: one was a bloodcurdling Catholic who combined piousness and pugnacity; the other was Jewish and wore a veil to hide the disastrous effects of a facelift. There was wicked Uncle Myers who beat her for the good of her soul and Aunt Margaret who laced her orange juice with castor oil and taped her lips at night to prevent unhealthy mouthbreathing. Many a time in the course of doing these memoirs, Mary McCarthy says, I have wished that I were writing fiction. But these were the people, along with the ladies of the Sacred Heart convent school, who helped to inspire her devastating sense of the sublime and ridiculous and her witty, novelists imagination.

As a former Catholic schoolgirl, this book hit home for me. The stories in 'Memories of a Catholic Girlhood' really brought back memories, and I loved how relatable the experiences were. Definitely worth adding to your reading list if you grew up in a similar environment!

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for a lively account, but the tone in 'Memories of a Catholic Girlhood' was sort of flat for me. It felt more like a long memoir than a captivating story. I also found some parts hard to relate to since I didn’t share the same background. Disappointed.
