Memoirs

The word memoir is derived from the French word ‘memoire’ which means ‘memory’ or ‘reminiscence’. This form of writing describes the personal experiences of the author which he/she has faced and overcame in the life. The memoirs form a sub-category of biographies in which a particular event of author’s life is described by the author itself while biographies contain the whole life of one person, and if that person is the author himself/herself, then it is called ‘autobiography’. The memoir books are written from the first-person perspective, i.e., “I” perspective wherein the writers talk about certain non-fiction events of their lives in order to offer past experiences and the life lessons associated with them.

These memoir books are filled with the real-life challenges of the author and their solutions which they opt for to overcome those challenges. These can be utilised by readers in their lives to tackle the similar complexities.
