This month the BlogHer Book Club is reading The Rules of Inheritance by Claire Bidwell Smith.

Do you guys like memoirs? Because this was, by far, one of the best memoirs that I’ve ever read. Have you ever read The Time Traveler’s Wife? I did, and I loved it, and not only for the story. TTTW was written in a non-linear fashion, with flashbacks and forwards to days in the past and events in the future, and Smith’s book was written in a similar fashion, but oh so much better, because it’s a true story.

The story is about love and loss (mostly loss), and coping with said loss. It’s compelling. I didn’t put the book down in the entire three days it took me to read it (and that’s a compliment; it wasn’t a short book by any means). How Smith ends up in the end – which I won’t ruin for you – is enthralling and almost ironic, considering the things she went through throughout her life.

Check out our forum over on BlogHer for more information, and also be sure to check out the discussions inspired by the book.

This was a paid review for BlogHer Book Club but the opinions expressed are my own.
