![]() This memoir from Patricia Lockwood tells the story of the author and her husband moving back in with her parents due to some financial struggles. Uniquely, Lockwood's father is a Catholic priest who was ordained after marriage and five kids, but even more peculiar is his personality. Lockwood writes with the scathing love of a feminist daughter to her conservative father, sprinkles her stories with her mother's adorable -isms, and includes tales of her childhood and even larger issues of Catholicism she has pondered. A friend recommended this book to me and told me it was funny. So I got it from the library and promptly did not laugh through the first third of the book, followed by some chuckles in middle the third and some serious consideration in the final section. Lockwood's voice is clear and odd. She does revels in the outlandish and wholeheartedly loves to write. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend.
