Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning author, a "funny, heart-hammering, wise" (The New York Times) portrait of a family that will remind you why "to read a novel by Anne Tyler is to fall in love" (PEOPLE). Abandoned by her wanderlusting husband, stoic Pearl raised her three children on her own. Now grown, the siblings are inextricably linked by their memories—some painful—which hold them together despite their differences. Hardened by life's disappointments, wealthy, charismatic Cody has turned cruel and envious. Thrice-married Jenny is errant and passionate. And Ezra, the flawed saint of the family, who stayed at home to look after his mother, runs a restaurant where he cooks what other people are homesick for, stubbornly yearning for the perfect family he never had. Now gathered during a time of loss, they will reluctantly unlock the shared secrets of their past and discover if what binds them together is stronger than what tears them apart. "Marvelous, astringent, hilarious, [and] strewn with banana peels of love."—Cosmopolitan

- content: As Pearl Tull lies dying in her Baltimore home, hoping to maintain control over her final days, she and her three children separately recall pivotal moments in their past. The story of the emotionally distant and sometimes cruel Tulls is told from the perspective of each family member, and narrator Suzanne Toren changes tone and timbre to fit each individual. Few families are as disconnected as the Tulls, and Toren successfully projects the characters' complex and layered feelings of competition, longing, pain, and insecurity, leaving listeners to judge the actions taken or words said. Thanks to Toren's sensitive reading, listeners are not pulled under by the difficult themes explored in the novel. Instead, the Tulls' abusive and clueless behavior opens the door for discussion.
