lilyellyn 's review for:
The Good House
by Ann Leary
Leary made a provocative choice to tell this story from the perspective of an alcoholic who is in denial about her disease. She manages to provide a window into the psychology of addiction while telling an endearing and engaging story. I could tell the tone was meant to be humorous, but I had a tough time with it in some parts. As someone whose family has been affected by addiction and alcoholism in particular, I found it difficult to laugh at some of Hildy's antics as they felt so heartbreakingly close to home.
