A review of Free Rose Light by Mary O’Connor

Mary O’Connor may have made her career as an architect, but her debut book shows her to be one heck of a writer.  Her prose is tight, well-paced, and often exquisite. She balances fact and emotion with perfect precision, using a blend of memoir, reportage, biography, and social history to make Free Rose Light a rich and creative book that is both about its subject and transcendent.
