Becoming: The Photographs of Clementina, Viscountess Hawarden

"Mavor shares with the reader her memories of adolescence her first period, her taste period, her taste for hot pants and purple tights, her doll and her family snaps. She loads us with her emotional responses...and she recounts arch little anecdotes about incidents in her life. Her style is diffuse; she piles up adjectives...and metaphors, addresses the reader and Clementina, free-associates, repeats ideas."Carol Mavor is the author of 'Becoming: The Photographs of Clementina, Viscountess Hawarden', published 1999 under ISBN 9780822323556 and ISBN 0822323559.
