The Little Locksmith: A Memoir di Katharine Butler Hathaway

The Little Locksmith by Katherine Butler Hathaway (written in 1942) by a woman who was treated for Spinal TB (strapped to a board for 10 years from age 5-15) but who ultimately became a writer and painter (better at the first), bought a house in Castine and ultimately in Blue Hill. Her memoir is beautifully written, psychologically astute, and fascinating. She predates feminism and Freudianism and other isms so that one gets a very authentic sense of who she is--and she can be brutally honest, especially about the role the mother played in denigrating her daughter because she was trying to protect her. And it was really sad as the child assumed the mother was speaking truth that no one would ever want to have a relationship or marry her. Not true as it turned out, but she died before she could write this part of her life. Died in 1942.I didn't read about her or read the forward or back of the book so read it cold except for the glowing recommendation of a friend up here who sent it to me. (Gete didn't like it at all. Not enough plot. I also gave copies to Bess, Carolyn, and Barbara.)… (altro)
