i felt similarly about the deborah levy memoir. i actually read the third part of it first, as it was the only copy i could find when looking for a new book whilst away on holiday - that one felt much more like one narrative arc and more of what i’d expected in terms of heartbreak, motherhood, ageing and navigating life as a writer/artist! it’s also longer and i was quite surprised when i read the first part and how much of a different direction it took. can’t speak for the middle part, but if you like her voice then i’d recommend trying the other parts of her memoir 💘
