With the same combination of humor and honesty that animates her nonfiction works Operating Instructions and Bird by Bird, Lamott's new novel portrays a not-untypical family for whom the joys and sorrows of everyday life are magnified by the unexpected. By bringing normally subsurface issues into relief, Lamott asks big questions in intimate ways: What keeps a family together? What are the small heartbreaks that tear at us? What happens to grief when it goes underground? And what road must we walk with our flawed and crooked hearts?
Anne Lamott is the author of twenty books, including the New York Times bestsellers Help, Thanks, Wow; Dusk, Night, Dawn; Traveling Mercies; and Bird by Bird, as well as seven novels. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame, she lives in Northern California with her family.
