Review: Drinking, A Love Story

Reading books about alcoholism is something of a theme with me. Drinking, A Love Story is an excellent book. It's a book that opens your eyes to a different facet of the world and does it without a shred of self-pity. The author, Caroline Knapp, died of lung cancer in 2002, and it added a sense of poignancy to the book. After I finished it, I tried to google her to see what happened. Did she stay sober? Did she move on in her life? How did her sister do? I suppose she did, she wrote a series of books on dogs after her memoir. I liked her a lot as a person, and it makes me so sad to know that she died at 42. I hope she lived well.
