Because—correct me if I’m wrong—but isn’t a memoir supposed to be factual? Why are people making up stories like this and marketing them as truth? The LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE book series didn’t market itself as truth, but as fact based. MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA let everyone know upfront that it was a novel, not a memoir. Isn’t that enough?
Apparently not. True, the story of building schools after being rescued by Pakistani villagers loses its punch when you learn most of these schools don’t exist. But how can you go around acting like it’s true when it’s so easy to do a Google search and find out it’s a lie?
Of course, it did take five years for people to figure it out…
