What is a "memoir"?
A memoir is a type of personal narrative that explores specific events or periods from a person's life. It focuses on sharing the author’s own experiences, reflections, and insights about those times. Rather than covering an entire life, a memoir delves into particular moments or themes, offering a detailed and personal perspective on how these experiences shaped the author's life. It aims to provide readers with an intimate understanding of the author's journey and the significance of the experiences described.
