No one reflects the potholes and small successes of American life like Anne Tyler does. With her unfailing eagle eyes and breathtaking responsiveness to the tiniest of mannerisms, language usage, habits, and relationships, Tyler has created a masterpiece comprised of chapters as interlocked short stories, each representing another period in three generations of the Garrett Family of Baltimore. Filled with laugh-out-loud and silent-chuckle humor juxtaposed with surprising but inherent friction between family members, this not-to-be-missed title should be on every reading list and on the top of every TBR pile.
