Finished reading Anne Lamott's book

I'd been browsing, then reading off and on this novel by Anne Lamott, titled "Rosie", for quite a long time now. Finally i was able to finish it. And it felt good.

The book, about Rosie, whose mother Elizabeth, drinks and drinks, and does not take care of her own life and her kid properly. The story began slowly, the tempo of the text was slow.

I was almost on the verge of putting it down after too much repetition of drinking episodes. But then, the story picked up.

Her language kept me reading. more than the story, her style, and the use of words is fascinating.

This isn't a newly published book. But reading a long published book doesn't take the joy out of it.
