Loads of great advice, help and encouragement for struggling writers.
This is a slim book that is bursting at the seams with great, sometimes surprising, advice and full of good humour. It is realistic and straight forward. It is a thoroughly entertaining read even if you don't want to actually write. As a struggling writer, it is a great friend and companion. I highly recommend it!

So much food for thought in this, your soul will put on weight!
As an aspiring writer, I had read 'Bird by Bird'by Anne Lamott on the advice of a writing website and found it inspiring about writing and about life. This is Anne Lamott's strength, I think, she presents a realistic way of looking at life with humour and affection and ignores all the trappings that mask our true selves. Travelling Mercies is a wry, poignant and honest look at how we live our lives and with gentleness and humour Anne nudges us into being true to our own selves and not apologetic for who we are. The ultimate message is that we should care for and support each other by 'turning up' and being there. It is a lovely glimpse of her life and makes us look at our own. Our weaknesses are portrayed as being just as valid as our strengths and although there is a vein of religious faith running all through it, this book does not bang an evangelistic drum. It is plain, good sense and very funny. I loved it.

Good story based on the true facts of the Massacre of the Ross Women .
I am interested in the Highland Clearances and a cousin told me of this book which tells the true story of the Massacre of the Ross Women at the start of the book and then proceeds as a novel. it is written for children but if it's the information you are interested in as an adult, then it's very good.
