I could write exactly the same non-review as I did of the first of Anne Tyler’s books that I read: The Accidental Tourist. Except that I hit it off with this one from the first page and knew I was going to like it.

I didn’t want it to end, or at least I wanted one of those one page summaries of “this is what happened to everybody next” - except it would have spoiled the book to have trimmed its wings like that. Really liked it, must read more Tyler.
