Review
Rosie is a masterpiece, Anne Lamott is a novelist of genius. (Los Angeles Times) A fine novel. (The New Yorker) A strong, funny, and memorably original novel. (Alice Adams) Anne Lamott is an original; a bright, resh voice. (San Francisco Chronicle)"
Book Description
In Anne Lamott’s wise and witty novel, the growing pains of motherhood are portrayed with rare humor and honesty. If Elizabeth Ferguson had her way, she’d spend her days savoring good books, cooking great meals, and waiting for the love of her life to walk in the door. But it’s not a man she’s waiting for, it’s her daughter, Rosie—her wild-haired, smart-mouthed, and wise-beyond-her-years alter ego. With Rosie around, the days aren’t quite so long, but Elizabeth can’t keep the realities of the world at bay, and try as she might, she can’t shield Rosie from its dangers or mysteries. As Rosie grows older and more curious, Elizabeth must find a way to nurture her extraordinary daughter—even if it means growing up herself.

THE BEST,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rosie (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite books of all time so it goes without saying that I think this is LaMott's best work. The characters are rich, full of flaws and still beyond lovable. It is a must read.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Worth reading,
By "acoword" (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rosie (Paperback)
Lamott's book "Bird by Bird" on writing was really superb and unforgettable. So, I wanted to absolutely love "Rosie." The characters are indelibly etched in my mind, especially Rae, James, and Rosie. And, parts of the book, mostly the parts about Rosie's character make the the entire book worthwhile. But, I had to force myself to pick it back up after putting it down a few times, and that's not a good sign. It lacked plot. There was nothing that I was really dying to find out. And, the main character's self-obsessed complaining got a little old; she had everything, and just couldn't seem to get it together. I kept hoping she'd just grow up and get over herself. I think the book is worth reading, but don't expect brilliance. Expect a good book that is slow in parts, but that in the end, you'll probably be glad you read.

as well and the author herself. She inspires me to read more and write more. I fell in love with Rosie and her mother, Elizabeth. I was happy that the ending was not as sad as some of Elizabeth's life. But she had Rosie to offset the bad things. Will be reading Crooked Little Heart next...
