À propos de cet audio

In this haunting memoir, an American icon tells her story of a challenging childhood, the craft that helped her find her voice, and a powerful legacy that shaped her journey as a daughter and a mother.

One of the most celebrated and beloved actors of our time, Sally Field has an infectious charm that has captivated the nation for more than five decades. From the dazzling complexity of Sybil, to the Academy Award-winning performances in Norma Rae and Lincoln, Field has stunned audiences time and time again with her artistic range and emotional acuity. Yet there is one character who always remained hidden: the shy and anxious little girl within.

With raw honesty, humility, and authenticity her fans have come to expect, Field brings readers behind-the-scenes for not only the highs and lows of her star-studded early career in Hollywood, but deep into the truth of her lifelong relationships–including her complicated love for her own mother.

Powerful and unforgettable, In Pieces is an inspiring account of life as a woman in the second half of the twentieth century.

Ce que les critiques en disent

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"A classic in the making - the kind that will land on the bestseller list...and stay on shelves for years to come."—Boris Kachka, New York Magazine
"Field fuels this aching, lyrical memoir with frankness about her emotional childhood, her conflicted relationship with the late Burt Reynolds, and how acting helped her interpret life in all its pain and beauty."— Entertainment Weekly
"I adored Sally Field's recent memoir, In Pieces. Although it deals with really heavy subject matter - sexual violence, childhood trauma - which made me step away for a break at times, her writing is so captivating. It brings you right into the moment, even moments that took place decades ago, and brings you along on her journey of admitting truths to herself about all of the trauma she has experienced. Her descriptions of acting - as her emotional release, her true love, her craft - were beautiful, especially interwoven with what was occurring in her personal life. What a remarkable woman. (PS: This book made me call my mom and thank her for being my mom.)"—Buzzfeed
"A memoir as soulful, wryly witty, and lyrical as it is candid and courageous... Eye-opening and deeply affecting... Arresting in its dark disclosures, vitality, humour, and grace, Field's deeply felt and beautifully written memoir illuminates the experiences and emotions on which she draws as an exceptionally charismatic, empathic, and powerful artist."—Booklist
"Field holds nothing back...This powerful, timely narrative resonates with pain and triumph."—Library Journal, Best Books of 2018
"A complex cri de coeur [and] shockingly frank...A rarity in the world of celebrity memoirs."—p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Helvetica}span.s1 {font-kerning: none}USA Today
"Clarity and Grace Shine Through the Darkness in Sally Field's Memoir... If you come to "In Pieces," expecting to meet a plucky Sally Field desperate to be liked, you will not find her. Written by the actor over seven years, without the aid of a ghostwriter, this somber, intimate and at times wrenching self-portrait feels like an act of personal investigation - the private act of a woman, now 71, seeking to understand how she became herself, and striving to cement together the shards of her psyche that have been chipped and shattered over the course of her life..."In Pieces" serves as a kind of tribute to women - her mother in particular - and others who would guide and protect Field throughout her turbulent childhood and an adulthood fraught by personal and professional upheaval."—New York Times Book Review

I loved this audio book. Sally Field survived and overcame so many difficulties in her life but emerged as a stronger, spiritually aware woman with more depth than one would realize until you hear her story.

Sally Field was a wonderful narrator for her story, particularly throughout some of the more painful parts of her life. It was enlightening and heart warming that she was able to find herself and her mother throughout her journey. Top notch all the way.

I really enjoyed hearing about Sally's career and personal life . I immediately was captivated by her issues with her relationship with her mother . the ending was good and made me cry. Having gone thorough a difficult relationship with my mother for other reasons I could relate to her emotions and feelings towards their relationship and difficulties with it.

touching memoir which resonated with me
