### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The Yellow House is so much more than a memoir.
  

*by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019*

This is more than the story of a life. More than the story of a family. More than the story of the ravaged wake of hurricane Katrina. And, much more than a house itself. This is Sarah M. Broom’s powerful memoir THE YELLOW HOUSE. As you read her flowing thoughts, you will discover not only her intimate relationship with a structure that held her family and friends together but what it came to symbolize to her and her family after it was laid waste post natural disaster. Once tethered to the ground that sustained them, Broom investigated, through extensive research and by interviewing members of her family, what the Yellow house stood for both literally and figuratively.More than a memoir. A document of place and time. A look at a neglected population in a city torn apart. An historical look at New Orleans East. No longer overlooked as Broom has carefully, tenderly put it on a map.What a pleasure it is to get to know the members of the Webb and Broom family through this book. Their strength, humor, and love for one another, are a testament to what holds us up and what keeps us up long after the beams come down. If only we could all have neighbors like them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Sometimes gorgeous, sometimes slow going
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019*

Sarah Broom is, or was, a journalist, and that writing style is apparent in the way she has constructed this narrative, like a house painstakingly built, from the bottom up. She goes into long and exacting detail about her family and their place in New Orleans East, to give the reader context. It's dry going, as a way of beginning, and I'm not convinced she needed so much personal detail. But there are gorgeous moments, truly stunning writing, and at about the halfway point, when the Water comes, when there is less of that journalistic reportage and the story gets far more emotional and urgent, her book is very hard to put down. Sarah Broom is a beautiful writer. There is majesty in this book at its best.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Way too much detail
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2019*

Knowing the author was a journalist first sheds light on why all of the intimate details of this book are captured. You wade through some of it, then get to the point of “Who Cares”? And speed read a few chapters. There wasn’t much that I liked about the book at all. I give her credit for tackling this topic.
