It’s not like she’s the only woman to ever have a baby. At 35. On her own. But Anne Lamott makes it all fresh in her now-classic account of how she and her son and numerous friends and neighbors and some strangers survived and thrived in that all-important first year. From finding out her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out her best friend and greatest supporter, Pam, will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events making up a woman’s life.

I listened to the sample of this, then downloaded the full book bc I enjoyed what I’d heard so far. Unfortunately the book quickly takes a weird turn. It becomes extremely religious and extremely political very quickly, and I realized that I (like some of the other reviewers) would not like to be friends with the author. I found this book bc I loved “Waiting for Birdy” and one review said this was similar. Not the case for me. “Waiting for Birdy” was beautifully sentimental and entirely focused on the author’s experience of becoming a mother. “Operating Instructions” is more like the author’s diary, and includes her thoughts on any topic that floats into her mind. For me, this was unwelcome and seemed unfocused and oddly argumentative.
