LA Times says, "I don't know if there is a better American writer going...impossible to compare...vision is too individual." From the book jacket: En route here to a character's friend's husband's funeral, "with several unexpected detours---into the lives of old friends and grown children, into memories of the past and attempts to rearrange the... more » present--Anne Tyler shows us all there is to know about a marriage: the expectations, the disappointments; the way children can create storms in a family; the way that wife and husband can fall in love all over again; the way the everything-and nothing--changes."
