Rosie

Rosie

Rosie, the first of international author Anne Lamott's best-selling trilogy about a mother and her daughter, is both a witty and wise coming-of-age novel about the growing pains of motherhood.

Following her father's death, Rosie, a wild and open-hearted young girl, grows older and becomes more curious.

Meanwhile, Rosie's mother Elizabeth must find a way to nurture her extraordinary daughter while grappling with her own demons - sliding further and further away from reality, Elizabeth finally realises she is an alcoholic.

Lamott's inimitable style and prose fashions an emotive story about how two forceful and complex individuals rebuild their family of two.

Rosie will appeal to aficionados of Jodi Piccoult's novels, as well as readers of coming-of-age novels and popular fiction.

Anne Lamott is a best-selling US author who is a columnist for Salon Magazine, amongst others, and a regular contributor to 'O' The Oprah Magazine.

Anne Lamott is the author of the New York Times best sellers Grace (Eventually), Plan B, Traveling Mercies, and Operating Instructions, as well as seven novels, including Imperfect Birds and Crooked Little Heart. A past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, she lives in Northern California.
