Family Ties

The Mighty Franks: a Memoir by Michael Frank
🌟🌟🌟🌟1/2



This memoir completely took me by surprise and was so riveting to read that I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn't literary fiction.  Michael Frank grew up in a very close family and an especially close relationship with an aunt who did not have children of her own.  Aunt Hank and her husband were successful Hollywood screenwriters whose volatile personalities and rigid opinions were the backbone of the family.   Beautifully written and a magnificent homage to family and finding your own self outside of family, I really loved this book.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
