Recommended. Readers already familiar with Lamott’s nonfiction work will find comfort in her familiar touchstone topics of faith, family, and recovery viewed through the lens of love and aging. Readers new to Lamott might want to start with her earlier works such as Help Thanks Wow or TravelingMercies: Some Thoughts on Faith.
This work will appeal to fans of Lamott as well as general readers interested in current spiritual thought. Recommended for all libraries. [See Prepub Alert, 10/24/16.]
Dedicated fans will surely praise this collection, but for marginal fans or those new to the author, there is not much here to recommend. ["A must for all Lamott fans and a fine point of entry for newcomers," disagreed the starred review of the Riverhead hc, LJ 11/15/14.]
Readers who are drawn in by the subtitle will not be disappointed, in spite of the brevity of the book. Lamott fans will also likely find exactly what they've come for.
A worthy successor to her prior works, this brief book will delight Lamott's regular readers, and likely draw new readers to her writing and to the ideas behind prayer.
