I thought this book had some really great moments and was perfect in that it was written by a close friend of kh's(not some random biographer), but also a person renowned for writing biographies. A little too much about the writer at the beginning, but all and all very fun to read about the amazing personality that was katharine hepburn. I made a list of must-see old movies to rent while reading.
** spoiler alert ** As she did in her last book, The Snow Day (2009), Sakai focuses on the interaction of a rabbit mother and son. But this time, instead of finding quiet in a force outside themselves, the fury coming from the boy is a storm in itself. “You always sleep late,” the child accuses and then catalogs a list of Mom’s other bad behaviors: watching television; yelling for no reason (well, perhaps it’s the toys in the toilet); insisting he hurry up. Then the boy complains, “You say you can’t marry me, not even when I get bigger.” Wanting to marry a parent is sometimes a fantasy of young children, but this comes out of the blue. He is so mad, he is going to leave. Which he does—then quickly comes back, with assurances from a finally awakened mom that she missed him.
