my 3rd Anne Tyler book. I LOVE her. She is funny, witty, spot-on ... i find myself nodding in agreement so often with her characters. Haven't we all wondered what might have been had we chosen the OTHER branch of that fork in the road??!?!?!!
Having tried to read this once before and failed, it was much better second time around. The situations and observations contained within the gently rolling narrative warm the heart and tug at the emotions.
