Woman in crazy job which she loves but is not healthy. Probably she has ptsd. She really wants a child, can't find a man. ( ) This is a fast-paced yet revealing memoir of a woman who worked her way up the ladder of television journalism with CNN, from its earliest days. Siobhan Darrow came from a poor and troubled background in New Jersey, the product of a Jewish father and a mother who grew up well-to-do in Northern Ireland. There was constant tension in this union, although the author seemed to have a good relationships with her two sisters and mother. Following her graduation from Duke, where she majored in Russian, she spent several years living in the USSR, where she married a Russian - a union which lasted perhaps longer than it should have. Getting in on the ground floor at CNN in its infancy, she began as a tape logger, then became a producer, writer and on-camera journalist, who covered the collapse of the Soviet Union, the wars in Chechnya, Kosovo, Serbo-Croatia and others, as well as the continuing "troubles" in Northern Ireland. Yet all the time she felt she was short-changing her own personal life by the fast-paced and constant travel, and was unable to form any lasting ties with a man or significant other. It's not until one of the final chapters, "Dunkin' Donuts," that she reveals a youthful experience that had colored all of her relationships with men. Darrow is an excellent writer and she tells her story, both personal and professional, with great skill. A fine read. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Born in Belfast, Siobhan Darrow grew up in New Jersey in a home that was split between her proper Ulster mother and her Jewish father. Emotional strife and poverty were a way of life. After her father died, Siobhan travelled to Russia to learn more about the man she could never know while alive. Quite unexpectedly, she married a Russian and became what she called a Cold War bride. He got a passport out - after seven years of waiting - and she got a rare chance to live among ordinary Soviets in the days before the fall of communism. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
