worthy of a reread

Such a melancholic story that made me ache for some of the characters. I first read this book in the early 90s when I discovered Ann Tyler & went on to read every book of hers & long for the next. Now I'm listening to them on Audible, and this book affected me emotionally far more than 30 plus years ago. I found the voices of some of the relatives (Justin's aunts in particular) jarring at times, but overall was sorry to reach the end of the story. I wanted to know what happened next! but isn't that often the way.... I love Ann Tyler and all her stories. Now onto the next!

Anne Tyler at her best

I think this is my favourite book from Anne Tyler, though I still have many left to read.
