The personal journal is often not meant for the eyes of anyone but the writer. When a strangerâs journal is read, the reader often becomes a voyeur to the innermost secrets of another. And whether it is a true journal or one of fiction, who cares? Often, it remains a good story. Lynn Freed, originally of Durban, South Africa, wrote the fictional journal of Agnes LaGrange, entitled âThe Mirror,â which reveals the thoughts, feelings, and loves of Agnes, starting when she arrived in South Africa to work as a housekeeper, and ending 50 years later. Lynn Freed recommends âMisfit,â by Jonathan Yardly, âEssays,â by George Orwell & âLast Days in Cloud Cukooland Dispatches,â by Graham Boynton.
