4.11.2023 - You Could Make This Place Beautiful

You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie  Smith 

Many thanks to NetGalley and One Signal Publishers/Atria for gifting me a digital ARC of this beautiful memoir by a favorite, Maggie Smith - 5 sparkling stars!

This book is a compilation of thoughts, essays, quotes, and so much beautiful prose all about the good, bad, and ugly of a life well lived so far.  Keep Moving was Smith's journey through the ending of her marriage in poetry; here we get more of the story.  But we don't get what we don't need - this is not a trash-the-ex book; it's one her children will read one day and underscore all that she did for them.  I have purchased copies of Keep Moving and sent to grieving friends; You Could Make This Place Beautiful is for everyone.  Because everyone has stuff they are dealing with.  I will be going back and rereading this one many times.  Highly recommended!
