Drunk Mom Memoir Summary

Media Reviews

'It is a memoir that pushes at boundaries – what is private, what should perhaps be kept private, what we need to know, what we don't, what is insightful or just exhibitionism. [O]ne of the most talked about books of the season.' - The Globe and Mail
'[T]his book is fresh within the context of a parenting memoir, one of a particular kind: A counterculture parenting memoir. [It] stands as an uncommonly perceptive chronicle of what it means to be an intelligent, urban parent trying to hold on to the rest of her life. ' - National Post
'A compelling, raw look at her struggle with alcoholism, the addiction that swallowed [Bydlowska] after the birth of her son.' - Elle (Canada)
'[A] gifted writer, and a courageous one… Without glibness, without self-pity, knowing that she risks being judged, Bydlowska tells her story… Luckily for those reading her story, she possesses a wickedly dark sense of humour.' - The Gazette (Canada)
'[She] eschews the touchy-feely language of recovery ... The cool yet raw efficiency of Bydlowska's prose, a testament to her successful journalistic career, repudiates indulgence of any kind. This detachment is what makes Drunk Mom both a painful yet paradoxically effortless read.' - Literary Review of Canada
