Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp is a candid and emotionally powerful memoir that explores the author's two-decade-long struggle with alcoholism. With unflinching honesty and literary grace, Knapp delves into the complex relationship she developed with alcohol—how it offered comfort, control, and escape, even as it quietly unraveled her life. More than just a personal story of addiction and recovery, the book offers a profound examination of the emotional undercurrents that drive dependency—particularly among women—and the path to self-understanding and healing. Both intimate and universal, Drinking is a fearless account of loss, love, and reclaiming one’s life.
