5.0 out of 5 stars
More than kidneys,
By Marc Josloff (Freeport, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marriage, Kidneys, and Other Dark Organs : A Memoir (Paperback)
The title "Marriage, Kidneys and Other Dark Organs" by Venera DiBella Barles, would seem likely to be the perfect reading companion for a long wait in the radiology clinic, but is devoid of literal references to kidneys. It is actually a visceral trail of the author's real life experience growing up in an immigrant family household where a colorful but dominating father leaves the family raw and vulnerable. Between tears, I laughed my kishkas out. There are powerful emotional strains in these memoirs that anyone, regardless of background, can relate to, whether the understanding stems from the "school of hard knocks" or from the comfortable voyeuristic vantage point of the den recliner.

Wow, what a great piece of work. It was a rollercoaster, I laughed and cried, I could not put this book down. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey with the author. Di Bella Barles is so generous, she shares so much with her reader.
