Perhaps Ms Fraser could be gracious enough to acknowledge that she has had a get-out-of-jail-free-card handed to her by MNHQ and not be so infantile. As she points out, there is plenty of material out there about alcoholism and alcoholics, but not a huge amount about the people that are affected by them, whether they be relatives, partners or friends. In Coming Clean , Liz tells her story--of life with an alcoholic at his darkest moments, and the uncertain journey through recovery as her husband nears six months of sobriety.

In the end, her wry prose, sharp self-reflection, and affinity for the uncertain reshapes her fraught experience into a nuanced story of resilience. The upheavals of moves, the flights , the drunken bar scenes and the physical, mental , verbal abuse made this book a difficult read.
