An Uncommon Memoir

Because memoirs are very personal accounts of an author's life, they often seem to be about everyday experiences and families. This is not the case with Cartwheels in a Sari by Jayanti Tamm. Tamm's parents were members of a cult led by Sri Chinmoy, and Tamm herself was declared to be the guru's "Chosen One." Her account of growing up with this sort of spiritual responsibility and struggling to find something to believe in is moving and incredibly interesting. Although the themes she touches on are universal, the details of her childhood are fascinatingly different to the average reader.
