My Beloved World, by Sonia Sotomayor
Celebrity memoirs often appeal to readers’ basest motives. They hope to discover some secret formula for success. Or they want to know whether the author took revenge on enemies or intimates. If the author is a public figure, readers are on the lookout for clues to an ideological bent or personal grievances that will make the author’s future decisions predictable.
If you’re expecting to find such revelations in the memoir of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, you will be disappointed.
