JOIN THE GREENHOUSE PROJECT’S Discussion leader, Sarah Regan, to enjoy and share your thoughts about this funny and all-too-familiar book.
In a hilariously charming domestic memoir, America’s celebrated master of terror turns to a different kind of fright: raising children. With “Life Among the Savages”, Shirley Jackson takes on the lighter side of small-town life. In this witty and warm memoir of her family’s life in rural Vermont, she delightfully exposes a domestic side in cheerful contrast to her quietly terrifying fiction. With a novelist’s gift for character, an unfailing maternal instinct, and her signature humor, Jackson turns everyday family experiences into brilliant adventures.
