"There's a lot I appreciated about this memoir -- Gornick's evocation of place, beautiful prose, insightful passages and the intertwined structure of the narrative. However, I found it difficult to connect with the narrator. I don't think it was a failure in the writing, just more of a personality conflict."
"Vivian Gornick is a skillful writer, but this memoir never seemed to permeate me the way stronger memoirs do. I did enjoy reading about her experience of growing up in The Bronx as well as her marriage and relationships as an adult. I also Googled the author about halfway through the book and learned that she had fabricated a few parts of the memoir, which impacted the remainder of my reading experience."
"At the end of Fierce Attachments I wanted to google image her. Why? Why was it so important to know what the feminist daydreamer who had let life pass her by looked like? Also, who talks to their mother like that? But this is pretty great: "In the face of silence I talked rapidly and at overwhelming length to fill what I experienced as the void, exhausting myself and those who had brought down on me the punishing need to speak words, words, words.""
"Gornick tackles her past with questions; one senses that, at the heart of her study of her relationship with her mother, are questions that feel absolutely important. This is no meandering through memories; it feels almost academic in its rigor. Gornick is such a smart lady, though, that it's absorbing and interesting, and I buy into the importance of her probing of her relationship with her mother. Great read."
