WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR
When Pearl Tull’s husband, Beck, abandons her she pours her energies into preserving normality. Only gradually do her three children realise their father is gone for good. Now, as Pearl lies on her deathbed, the impact of Beck’s abrupt departure unspools: on Cody who can’t overcome his anger, on mild Ezra who must always keep the peace, and on bright, errant Jenny. And so the secrets, memories and anguish of the Tull family begin to surface.

Her best novel
Anne Tyler is a brilliant writer
A book to be settled into fully, tomorrow be damned. Funny, heart-hammering, wise…superb
The most impressive American novelist of her generation
A classic of contemporary Americana…variously funny and horrifying and finally, quietly, terribly moving
