This book gives us an idea about forms of autobiography; how they differ for men and women, where our traditional forms of autobiography come from, how the forms have changed over time and why we readers are so fascinated with autobiography. She uses many examples from different autobiographies and that makes it interesting.

"Most of us, unless faced with emotional illness, don't give our inner life scripts a fraction of the attention we give to the plots of movies or TV specials about some person of prominence. And yet the need to examine our inherited scripts is just beneath the surface of consciousness, so that while we think we reading a gripping story, what really grips is the inner reflection on our own lives the autobiographer sets in motion."
