Pieces of Molly is a memoir with a difference. Told in the first and third person, it gives a perspective on the self not often foundin autobiographies. Molly can be seen as 'everychild' - the author and the reader too. Judith Gurney's unusual approach to her memoir offers a multi-faceted piecing together of a life, in which she acknowledges the unreliability of memory, and examines how we often recreate ourselves to fit in with others' hopes and desires as well as our own.
