Recenzii
NEW
YORK
TIMESBESTSELLER
"A classic in the making - the kind that will land on the bestseller list...and stay on shelves for years to come."—Boris Kachka, New York Magazine
"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."—Entertainment Weekly
"A memoiras soulful, wryly witty, and lyrical as it is candid and courageous... Eye-opening and deeply affecting... Arresting in its dark disclosures, vitality, humour, and grace, Field'sdeeply felt and beautifully writtenmemoir illuminates the experiences and emotions on which she draws as an exceptionally charismatic, empathic, and powerful artist."—Booklist
"Field holds nothing back...This powerful, timely narrative resonates with pain and triumph."
—Library Journal, Best Books of 2018
"A complexcri de coeur[and] shockingly frank...A rarity in the world of celebrity memoirs."—USA Today
"Clarity and Grace Shine Through the Darkness in Sally Field's Memoir... If you come to "In Pieces," expecting to meet a plucky Sally Field desperate to be liked, you will not find her. Written by the actor over seven years, without the aid of a ghostwriter, 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..."In Pieces" serves as a kind of tribute to women - her mother in particular - and others who would guide and protect Field throughout her turbulent childhood and an adulthood fraught by personal and professional upheaval."—New York Times Book Review
"Award-winning actress Sally Field could have written a typically dishy Hollywood memoir. But her book, In Pieces, is an intensely personal, vulnerable accounting of her life and career. Field's meditations on memory, fear and love will leave you shattered. Her lyrical prose and sly humor will glue you back together again."—NPR, Best Books of 2018
"Raw and revealing...In her book, seven years in the writing, [Field] examines the complex relationship with her "perfectly imperfect" mother, Margaret. That is the thread that holds her story together: the woman who often held her together....[Sally Field] is not a woman who will keep quiet any longer. And that's a good thing. She still has a lot to say."—AARP
"Beyond the headlines...there's a smart woman's reckoning with her complicated past."—People
"Fantastic."—Chicago Tribune
"'In Pieces' is the opposite of a self-aggrandizing, celebrity biography meant to cement one's place in history. Rather, it's a vulnerable, frank, almost voyeuristic view inside Field's mind and her efforts to "piece" together her life's most crucial moments into a coherent understanding of who she is as a human being."—Atlantic Journal-Constitution
"Do you ever put off reading a book because it will come to an end? "In Pieces" hung around my bedroom for a week. Not surprisingly, it is as delightful as Field is."—The Florida Times-Union
"In Pieces is extraordinary....raw, brutally honest, introspective."—Pajiba
"A reminder that telling your truth can help you heal."—Chicago Tribune
"Sally Field who, at 71, has ripped herself open and written one of the most exposing memoirs I have ever read. A memoir so honest and authentic it could not be more right for now if it had been produced by a trend forecaster algorithm. But, in fact, the timing is pure coincidence..With a career like hers behind her, she could have put her feet up and lived off the proceeds, keeping her girl/granny next door image intact, could have signed off on a production-line celebrity biography and people would have read it. Instead, she...fully exposed herself in her memoir... and, in so doing, put herself front and centre of the very urgent conversation we're having right now about gender."—The Pool
"Field lays it all on the line...In Piecesis an indelible portrait of a woman we all thought we knew."—Auburn Citizen

"Talented
and
versatile
Academy-
and
Emmy
Award-winning
actor
Field's
credits
range
from
Gidget
and
Sybil
to
Norma
Rae
and
Places
in
the
Heart,
among
many
others.
Now
she
reveals
the
personal
side
of
her
story,
along
with
her
rise
to
fame.
Reverberating
throughout
these
pages
is
the
impact
of
sexual
abuse
by
her
stepfather
and
her
struggles
to
work
through
her
relationship
with
her
beloved
mother.
Field
addresses
these
issues
frankly,
as
she
does
the
complex
facets
of
her
marriages
and
other
associations
(including
her
much-publicized
relationship
with
actor
Burt
Reynolds),
as
well
as
various
episodes
in
her
behind-the-scenes
professional
life.
Her
discussion
of
building
a
vibrantly
enduring
acting
career
in
the
midst
of
turbulence
is
especially
fascinating.
There
are
vivid
anecdotes
from
on
and
off
the
set,
well-drawn
accounts
of
priceless
tutelage
by
famed
Lee
Strasberg,
and
powerful
descriptions
of
how
Field
crafted
major
dramatic
roles
from
deep
within
her
emotional
reservoir.
It
is
all
here
and
in
Field's
inimitable
words,
enhanced
by
thoughtfully
chosen
photographs.
VERDICT
Especially
relevant
in
light
of
the
growing
awareness
of
rape
and
sexual
assault,
this
engrossing,
well-written
work
will
appeal
to
fans
and
those
previously
unfamiliar
with
Field's
work."
