Finding My Balance (book review)

Finding My Balance by Mariel Hemingway (2003). Hemingway, granddaughter of the famous author, writes somewhat movingly about her life, which has certainly contained its fair share of tragedy. She uses yoga as a framing device, starting and ending each chapter with a description of one of her favorite yoga positions. This sounds like it might be interesting, but unless you're already into yoga it probably won't be. Mariel Hemingway is a beautiful woman, a successful actress, and rich to boot. In this book, however, she comes off sounding rather simple-minded and occasionally a little shallow and self-absorbed. Grade: C
