Tolstoy and the Purple Chair - Quick Review



An interesting memior concerning a woman working through her grief over her sister's death.  I enjoyed sharing the author's journey, but sometimes the stories felt a bit repetitive, and later the chapters were a bit vague as to their purpose within the scope of the memior.  The stories felt at times like they would have been better served as individual essays, rather than chapters in a book.  I, personally, would recommend The Reading Promise over this book.  They are similar, but The Reading Promise is much stronger and less indulgent.
