Wally Lamb: I Know This Much Is True

Did you mean "The Hour I First Believed"? It has a lot to do with a female jail, and it's got a lot of historical fact in it, but it's definitely a work of fiction...

Wally Lamb teaches creative writing at a female corrections facility and has one or two non-fiction books about the women he comes across. I believe that is what Kailana is referring to.
 
I guess I just didn't get into it as much as everyone else. It was alright, but definitely not my favorite book by Wally Lamb by a longshot. I thought that parts of the story just drug on and on. It will be going to my "donate to charity" pile.
 
I loved this book. I've read it twice and I know I will read it again at some point.

The size is intimidating at first but when I finished the book I realised that the book was just the length it should have been. Even the lengthy passages from Dominic's grandfather's diary made sense. It allowed me to put his family in context.

I have a nephew with schizophrenia so Thomas is a character close to my heart. I felt genuinely sad when he died.
