Beautiful memoir
Necessary Sins is a lovely elegy for Darling's marriage to Lee Lescaze, which ended with his death from cancer at the age of 57. By turns poignant and wry, her reminiscence tells the tale of her relationship with Lescaze, which began when he was married to his first wife.

Maximum self-involvement
Ms Darling writes like a dream, but her story is a nightmare. I know it is a "memoir" but does everything that happens, including the death of a child, have to revolve around her? Leaves a bad taste.

This review is from: Necessary Sins (Paperback)
Necessary Sins is a lovely elegy for Darling's marriage to Lee Lescaze, which ended with his death from cancer at the age of 57. By turns poignant and wry, her reminiscence tells the tale of her relationship with Lescaze, which began when he was married to his first wife. Acutely conscious of the pain inflicted on others through her choices, Darling unsparingly holds herself accountable for this damage, while cherishing the memory of what she and Lescaze built in their relationship. The result is a rich and complex exploration of the contours and chasms of marriage, beautifully expressed in exquisite prose. Each sentence pays tribute to Lescaze and their shared love of language -- truly this book is a pleasure to read. Highly recommended.

Well-written biographical account with a very surprising ending. Our lives are not always what we plan them to be and Darling's life is proof of that. Good read.
