Misadventures Of Fatwoman edition by Julie Elizabeth Powell Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Everyone likes Andi. I liked Andi, too, but only by proxy. She is a tall, hefty woman with an inferiority complex the size of the broad side of a barn. All we hear from inside her head is about her being fat, ungainly, ugly, unhappy, comical, and hopeless. It's through others, her children, her devoted second husband, her friends, co-workers, and clients, who all adore her, that we understand there's more to this woman than the way she perceives herself.
Andi's inner thoughts were one-note and repetitive. Fortunately for her, her family and friends understood her uneasiness and cut her a great deal of slack.
Sorry, but this little book was not worth my money or my time.
I read Gone, by Julie Elizabeth Powell, and loved it, so I was eager to read another one of her books. This one did not disappoint! I could completely connect with Andi and her story,and it reminded me of my own anxiety at turning forty. (While I did not have quite the excitement leading up to the big day as Andi did, I did cry on my way to work!), This was an entertaining story, but also great commentary on how women are supposed to be young and thin forever - which we all know is impossible to achieve! It's about learning to reconcile how you perceive yourself versus how you come off to others, and being okay with any disparity. And while the book has some laugh-out-loud moments, the relationships and issues of self-esteem run deep, making this a book I will think about for a long time. I highly recommend it!
MISADVENTURES OF FATWOMAN is a hilarious story with a great message. Andi is Fatwoman, an almost 40 year old struggling with her weight, fears about her marriage, and with how she thinks others perceive her. Ms. Powell takes us through all the horrors Andi faces, including small dressing rooms, a mammogram (they're horrendous no matter how big you are!), and catty comments from others. By the end of the story, Andi's starting to trust her own value despite how she feels about her appearance, and to believe what those who love her tell her that she's beautiful inside and out - a message most of us can learn from.
I don't know whether she realizes it or not, but Ms. Powell writes with such insight about a woman's brain that the emotions Andi feels could be due not to her weight, but to any of the imperfections women label themselves with, and with very few changes to the story, the book could've been titled Misadventures of Skinnywoman, Bignosewoman, Littleboobwoman, Spottyfacewoman!
A great read not only for the story and the laughs, but for the reminder that beauty is not only skin deep. Five stars!
I enjoyed this book, and thought the main characters were likeable and believeable. Andi represents all of us women who have ever agonized over our appearance - which would be most of us, I should think. Although Andi did make progress, I was really hoping that by the end of the book she would be more accepting of herself and her many attributes, and not so hung-up on appearance. I was also hoping she would start to answer back to people who insulted her, and call them out on their rudeness! I really felt for her as I read about what she had to put up with and, sadly, I think that is quite true-to-life. It's a thought-provoking and well-written novel, with lots of humour to lighten the more serious aspects, and I think it was a brave topic for the author to tackle.
Andrea May Wallace, nee Worthing (once Stafford) has a good life. Her husband, Ray, is crazy about her, as are her kids, Meg and Ben. She has a great job and good, supportive friends.
She has only one naysayer, one person who dooms her to living in an internal hell of self-degradation.
And that one person is Andrea May Wallace.
She’s not sure when it started, this whole getting-large thing. She had been very active as a child, adventurous even. But in school, everything changed. From then until the present, she second-guesses every movement, every motive…simply because she is not the size she wants to be. It doesn’t help that her first husband, John, was everything she never wanted, and proved it time and again.
Now, this sounds rather depressing, but the narration is light-hearted and humorous, as if it is being told by a person who has finally gotten over it all and is looking back with a healed heart. First dates, weight-loss meetings, trying on clothes—all those adventures someone who is not a super-model must go through—all told with a fantastic blend of humor and heartbreak.
Take this classroom scenario “Love notes would pass amongst the class faster than pigeons coming home to roost…Her pigeon must have died, shot down by some heady farmer while muttering something about ‘ice cubes and Hell’.”
Humor and heartache, entwined into a fantastic tale.
Ms. Powell, ever the consummate storyteller, has done it again! Bravo!!
