Well worth your time! Tyler is a true storyteller - keeps you turning pages.

Anne Tyler is one of my favorite novelists, and this is one of my favorite Tyler books. A lovely book about family.

Anne Tyler is a master of these types of family dramas that tell the stories of "ordinary" people. This is a terrific novel.

Excellent story. Well defined characters. I thouroughly enjoyed this book. I've read it 3 times.

If you have read any Anne Tyler, you'll know that her books are character driven, as is this one - the story of a family, brought together by their dying mother.

this is a great story..however this copy is slightly old and yellowed..still a good read!!

Anne Tyler at her best!
