Book Review of Back When We Were Grownups

Back When We Were Grownups
mccoffield avatar reviewed on + 76 more book reviews


This is classic Anne Tyler, who is an excellent writer. With her perfect prose, she delivers yet another tale about the lives of everyday people.

This one reminds me a bit of Tyler's Pulitzer Prize winning book, Breathing Lessons.

Caution to those who are looking for an action-packed or dramatic storyline. That's not Tyler's style. She writes in an introspective way about reality, almost always leading the reader to recognize something of oneself in the process.

Four stars!
