I almost never read memoirs so the fact alone that I picked this up in the first place is a real compliment to the book. At the heart of "Memorial Drive" is the author's mother, an impressive and driven women who is tragically killed by her ex-partner in her 30s. In recounting her life story, Trethewey is circeling around her own raw pain but also draws a wider picture about the insidious nature of domestic violence. Not only does it take her mother a long time and real resourcefulness to leave the abusive relationship, in the aftermath the absolute helplessness of the authorities is revealed, despite clear murderous intent on the perpetrators side. What does it take, the book seems to ask, to finally take these kinds of threats seriously? The answer might not be clear, but this memoir is a moving and angry question.
