Rosie by Anne Lamott
First I have to say that Anne Lamont is a great author and I do like her very much.This book "Rosie" was quite disturbing to me.I understand that alcohol dependency is considered a disease 'and is some what genetic,but I could not find the patience to excuse the mother Elizabeth in this book.The little girl Rosie was a gem and it certainly shows one what strength and smarts a child has to learn at a young age.I tried to put the book down and not finish it as I got so upset with Elizabeth,but I have to hand it to Lamont she made it impossible to not finish the book.If you read this book it is one that will stay with you for some time.
i just finished reading this book,I found it very disturbing. I know Anne Lamont is a an excellent author,and most of her writings are rather harsh,but this one really bothered me. I can not say I had much sympathy for Elizabeth and felt like just closing the book and not finishing it,but it wouldn't leave my mind,so I think Lamont is successful in keeping one interested till the end,even though I actually sorry I read this book.
