Magnificent
Deliciously funny and sharply observed
Wise and funny...a multidimensional exploration of what it means to belong, not only to a family but also to a nation
Out of this everyday material she spins gold: stories so achingly truthful, so achingly funny, so sad and so real that you can only marvel
Anne Tyler draws a comedy that is not so much brilliant as luminous – its observant sharpness sweetened by a generous understanding of human fallibility
