A thoughtful book review.

"Book Review: Brown Face, Big Master." Written by Joyce Gladwell

"The book is an interesting weave of her stories as she navigated life, and evolution that came to her from exposure to various parts of her life. I also believe that the honest study of this book might have influenced Malcolm to have an objective view of situations that are reflected in his books. I was also concerned about the issues that were never mentioned as Joyce’s autobiography unraveled. She never mentioned her twin sister and her relationship with her parents. It seemed that she had to cut off from the past to be able to build a future with her own family. She still visited them and mentioned them sparingly but it seemed she had decided to navigate her life without the emotions that guided the beginning of her life.

I guess we will never know."

Two thoughts: 

One: But maybe it's not too late to know more? 

Two: Maybe a different focus will be cultivated more in the next life.
