Somehow: Thoughts on Love by Anne Lamott Hardcover Book

Description: Somehow by Anne Lamott #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLEROne of Publishers Weeklys Best Religion Books of 2024"Anne Lamott is my Oprah." —Chicago TribuneFrom the bestselling author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, Wow, a joyful celebration of love"Love is our only hope," Anne Lamott writes in this perceptive new book. "It is not always the easiest choice, but it is always the right one, the noble path, the way home to safety, no matter how bleak the future looks."In Somehow: Thoughts on Love, Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths, reminds us of our humanity, and guides us forward. "Love just wont be pinned down," she says. "It is in our very atmosphere" and lies at the heart of who we are. We are, Lamott says, creatures of love.In each chapter of Somehow, Lamott refracts all the colors of the spectrum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bruised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints, even frightens. The sustaining love among a group of sinners, for a community in transition, in the wider world. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens as it educates, comforts as it energizes, sustains as it surprises. Somehow is Anne Lamotts twentieth book, and in it she draws from her own life and experience to delineate the intimate and elemental ways that love buttresses us in the face of despair as it galvanizes us to believe that tomorrow will be better than today. Full of the compassion and humanity that have made Lamott beloved by millions of readers, Somehow is classic Anne Lamott: funny, warm, and wise.

Review PRAISE FOR SOMEHOW: Thoughts on Love"Lamott speaks to the human in all of us, challenging us to bear her beam of love, and our own." —The Washington Post"Whether you are looking for love or letting go of resentments, Lamotts words will both meet you where you are at and propel you to where you need to go." —Oprah Daily "Self-disclosure can be awkward, but Lamotts voice is so finely tuned and adept at positioning the mirror for readers to see themselves, the books are not about her: They are words for anyone struggling against hope. Somehow: Thoughts on Love is a reminder — for those who need one — that its never too late to listen for the proverbial still small voice, the one within us that the world does its best to drown out, that its never too late to choose love."—San Francisco Chronicle"Lamott shares her thoughts on love in a moving meditation on how love really is the answer. Its wise, warm and witty, just like you expect." —Parade "Lamott brings her signature wit and warmth to these effervescent meditations on matters of the heart. . . . A topic that might feel trite in the hands of a lesser writer takes on fresh meaning in Lamotts, thanks to her ability to distill complex truths with a deceptive lightness. This rings true." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lamott senses love in myriad ways. . . . Her innate honesty allows her to share her vulnerabilities and laugh at her own sometimes over-the-top attempts to find and share love. . . . But it is all done with such clarity, feeling, and goodness that readers will find themselves laughing out loud and fighting back tears. Ultimately, this is a testimony to love and hope in an often painful world. Lamotts many readers are loyal, and this will be an easy sell. But pass it on, too, to people who may not even realize that they are searching for ways to connect with and love others." —Booklist (starred review) "In this book, [Lamott] focuses less on vengeful thinking for comic effect and more on the joys of smelling the roses. . . . As always, a strong vein of spirituality runs throughout, with Lamotts characteristic descriptions of an all-loving God who is often flummoxed and saddened by humanity, but hopeful anyway. . . . [This] is a kind view of loving oneself and others despite our collective imperfections." —Kirkus"Beloved and best-selling author Lamott offers a joyful, feel-good read that explores the power of love—romantic, platonic, and familial—in peoples lives, with her usual grace, humor, and insight." —Library Journal Details ISBN0593714415 Author Anne Lamott Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780593714416 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-04-09 Imprint Riverhead Books,U.S. Subtitle Thoughts on Love Country of Publication United States Illustrations PRINTED ENDPAPERS Audience General US Release Date 2024-04-09 DEWEY 814.54 Pages 208 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
