'In
Piecesfeels
like
a
lengthy
therapy
session
in
which
Field
is
tough
on
herself
and
the
people
around
her…
This
isfar
from
a
typical
showbusiness
taleand
some
Field
fans
may
regret
the
lack
of
coverage
of
many
acclaimed
films
from
her
career.
Instead,
this
is
a
painfully
honest
attempt
to
confront
and
understand
all
the
personal
heartbreak…
Anunusually
intimate,
heartfelt
voyage
of
self-discovery’
‘Impressive, candid and vivid’
‘Sally Field’s was one of the most revelatory memoirs of the year'
‘Written by the actor over seven years, without the aid of a ghostwriter (a crutch often used by celebrity authors), this somber, intimate and at times wrenching self-portrait feels like an act of personal investigation — the private act of a woman, now 71, seeking to understand how she became herself, and striving to cement together the shards of her psyche that have been chipped and shattered over the course of her life.’
‘Field fuels this aching, lyrical memoir with frankness about her emotional childhood, her conflicted relationship with the late Burt Reynolds, and how acting helped her interpret life in all its pain and beauty.’
‘Field’s “pieces" are raw, heartbreaking, sometimes maddening but each builds insight to who she is — and that’s the point. This work, as she thinks of it, is meant to reveal her, not to name-drop or tell unimportant tales about movies made long ago.’
‘Beautifully written… vividly captures the people who have meant most in her life… All come to life as if they are walking into the room where you are reading.'
'Blisteringly honest'
'In Pieces is a book that feels wrenched from its author's soul.'
'The revelations come thick and fast…Field is a real writer, her prose uncluttered and direct…beautiful in its descriptive simplicity.'
