Kelly Rosalyn Moore's Reviews > Handiwork

I feel like this review is perhaps a bit harsh since this was required university reading. I wouldn't have picked this book for myself so I was curious to observe my thoughts.

Handiwork is specialist. I don't know lots about birds, woodwork, or art in general. Some of the odd facts included were interesting; this slight interest just wasn't enough to happily carry me through.
I appreciated the honest self-reflection that other writers may avoid in non-fiction. I was impressed with Baume's ability to weave the 'handiwork' with thoughts on grief, existentialism and love.

I doubt I was the target audience but I'm happy to hear that others enjoyed this.
