Critic Reviews

Funny, serious, touching, zany, delightful, revealing...a triumph of perception
Anne Tyler has won herself a devoted following. Rightly so: her novels are beautifully controlled, witty, subtle, with an undercurrent of human warmth
She is a writer who gets to the heart of the matter without being glib, and cleverly reveals the extraordinary in seemingly ordinary lives
Anne Tyler's touch is deft, her perceptions keen, her ear for speech phenomenal, her people triumphantly alive... Only a rarely talented novelist could have written this fine book
Her fiction is a quiet, gentle reminder of the goodness to be found in most ordinary lives
All stars

Heading says it all. No joy in this book whatsover. Warning to bedtime listeners - when granma speaks or worse sings the narrator goes up to 4 times usual level! Horrid & not condusive to sleep.

Depressing!
