Amazing Disgrace: A Book About "Shame"

Product Information

Grace explores some excruciating topics through her own experiences, however there are stark contrasts to those I have read already. Scarlett Curtis ********************************************** For as long as she can remember, Grace Campbell has been told that she doesn't suit her name. The only part that I found dragged a bit was around the opening chapters when she talks about her childhood hatred for Tony Blair a lot, which feels a bit aimless and isn't something many people (nobody? I can honestly say I hadn’t thought too deeply about it until Campbell started pulling out examples left, right and centre. Amazing Disgrace is a candid, humorous and introspective reflection on Grace Campbell’s personal experiences of shame, with chapters drawing upon the big guns like romantic conquests, rejection, sexual assault and mental health.

Other chapters are revelatory about the darkness, self-loathing and self-sabotage that risked defining her twenties. There were also several sadder and darker anecdotes about Grace’s personal life, but she turned them into something to learn from and things she’d tell her younger self (or us, the readers). Grace Campbell makes no bones about her privileged background and this is refreshing and leads to a book that is both an autobiography and an empowering guide to how to accept yourself and every part of you. Things like her right to privacy or her relationships with her parents, which were inevitably strained by the bucktoothed allure of Blair.Another reason I related so much to the book was that there’s a self-awareness that runs throughout the chapters, acknowledging the intersectionality of women and their experiences, the common grounds and the vast differences across socioeconomic backgrounds, racial identities, sexualities and beyond.

In Amazing Disgrace: The Voicenotes, Grace Campbell, the self-proclaimed queen of disgrace, will interview her guests on all the most disgraceful things they’ve ever done, and then they will give advice to members of the public on their own personal shame dilemmas.i enjoyed this more as a humorous book rather than a straight up memoir (because she is too young) or as a feminist book since it lacked depth on the topic of shame. Whilst I can't relate to Grace's experiences with drugs (I'm very anti-drugs), there were parts that I felt echoed my own teenage and early-20s and the insecurities I harboured.
