About this product

Product Information

The New York Times Bestseller from the beloved author of Bird by Bird , Hallelujah Anyway, and Almost Everything Mattie Ryder is marvelously neurotic, well-intentioned, funny, religious, sarcastic, tender, angry, and broke. Her life at the moment is a wreck: her marriage has failed, her mother is failing, her house is rotting, her waist is expanding, her children are misbehaving, and she has a crush on a married man. Then she finds a small rubber blue shoe--nothing more than a gumball trinket--left behind by her father. For Mattie, it becomes a talisman--a chance to recognize the past for what it was, to see the future as she always hoped it could be, and to finally understand her family, herself, and the ever-unfolding mystery of her sweet, sad, and sometimes surprising life.

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Fun to Read - Normal gal takes on Life

    A New York Times Best Seller - After the breakup of her marriage Mattie and her two children start a new life. It's funny in parts, sad in parts and when you start to care about the people in the book you know the author has you. For anyone stepping carefully through life, for anyone finding out secrets hidden for years - not always perfect body and size 4 - not always winning it all - just a normal woman taking on life - this is a wonderful book.

  • Win/win purchase

    Love Anne Lamott and getting a great price on used books.

  • a precious symbol of love that was lost

    I love the way Anne Lamott writes about the human fraility of our families. Life contains many unexpected surprises that can come to us at any point of our journey. The characters are endearingly flawed but they know that they are loved by God. I bought this book because I read 2 of Anne Lamott's other books and wanted to read a novel by her.

  • A Good Read

    I really liked this book. It moved along quickly and you really cared about the characters. The Blue Shoe has a special meaning to the main character...find out why! It is quirky and fun!
