What an absolutely enthralling memoir to read! Aunt Munca would easily wedge her way into the reader's all-time favourite "wish I had met them in person to understand them better" figure list. Reading about her journey from the eyes of her nephew turned out to be so fascinating, and Mount has done a remarkable job in capturing her character, with all its endearing vulnerabilities brilliantly. Be it the secret shadowiness that Aunt Munca seemed to exude, or the heart-wrenching grief she nees to cope up with on more than one occasion, it's quite a travel to ride along with Aunt Munca as constantly tries to kiss her real self goodbye. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and my sincere thanks to Bloomsbury Publishing and Ferdinand Mount for gifting me with an advanced copy for my review. Do not miss the book if memoirs make your cup of tea.
