En 'Memorias de una joven católica', Mary McCarthy narra con habilidad y agudeza su infancia y juventud. La autora describe su educación como niña huérfana, su relación con sus abuelos y su estancia en un internado religioso. A través de sus experiencias, McCarthy ofrece una mirada crítica y a la vez llena de humor sobre la sociedad y la religión de su época. Este libro es una de las memorias femeninas más atractivas de los últimos años.
