Our Kind of People: The Story of an American Family

Rating:
Summary: Worth the Search
Review: Although this book is out of print it is worth the search if you like family memoirs. I happened upon this little treasure when looking for Angela's Ashes at my favorite local library. What is particularly striking about Yardley's book is the candor with which he presents his parents and his family. Yardley, a book critic for the Washington Post, tells the story of his father who was a long-time headmaster of a private, all-girls school in Virginia.
