Curious, puzzling, vivid,
By A Customer
This review is from: Margaret Ogilvy (Hardcover)
JM Barrie wrote this curious memoir of his mother after her death. I don't know much about Barrie's personal life, I found it psychologically qute strange. He seemed obsessed with the idea of being her son and being close to her, yearning for her to mother him and to remain forever a little boy. (Yes - this was the writer of Peter Pan all right). He gives a vivid pictures of a provocative, strong minded, intelligent Scotswoman who wanted things very much HER way and was extremely mysterious and hard to pin down. Yet Barrie clearly got a great deal out of his relationship with her and genuinely loved her. This touching book made me feel there was a great deal more to find out about Barrie and now I want to read more about him. I do recommend this book.
