About this product

Product Information

Anne Lamott's poignant first novel, reissued in an attractive new edition. Writer (and sometime housecleaner) Jennifer is twenty-three when her beloved father, Wallace, is diagnosed with a brain tumor. This catastrophic discovery sets off Anne Lamott's unexpectedly sweet and funny first novel, which is made dramatic not so much by Wallace's illness as by the emotional wake it sweeps under Jen and her brothers, self-contained Ben and feckless, lovable Randy. With characteristic affection and accuracy, Lamott sketches this offbeat family and their nearest and dearest as they draw ever closer in the intimacy Jen prizes "among the other estimable things: good music, good hard laughter, good sex, good industry, and good books."

Reviews
The appeal of this book is . . . that it has much to say about how a good family works . . . in times both hard and easy . . . It's a moving and strangely joyful book, a kind of celebration, and it's written with an assurance far beyond the reach of most first novelists., "The appeal of this book is . . . that it has much to say about how a good family works . . . in times both hard and easy . . .

Her way with analogy, metaphor, and evocative detail is subtle; her ability to shift from the specific to the general to the specific again, superb." -- Suzanne Mantell, The Nation, "The appeal of this book is . . . that it has much to say about how a good family works . . . in times both hard and easy . . .

    Interesting Story & Book in Perfect Condition!

    While this book is not quite as good as some of Lamott's later work, I still found it to be an interesting read and I am glad to add it to my Lamott collection. The book came to me if perfect condition and the price was very reasonable.

    I think this title is OK, although this is not a comedy

    This is one of Anne Lamott's finest books. She guides you through a very difficult time in her life. No wonder she drank so much, Ha! very well written and a good book to acquaint yourself with Anne.
