Book three of my reading challenge was an Anne Tyler title ~ Anne Tyler, I say! ~ The Beginner's Goodbye. Although many critics kinda panned this novel (Tyler's newest) I enjoyed every single sentence. Loved the characters. Loved the plot. Loved the happy ending. I am a sucker for happy endings (because real life doesn't work that way), no matter how predictable.
I always hold Tyler's books close to my heart when I finish reading. Literally, I mean, I hold the novel against my chest and just feel so damned happy that I got to read it. My favorite? Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. I could read that novel every year of my life and not tire of it.
(Truth be told: I would enjoy reading one of Anne Tyler's grocery lists.)
It always shocks me a little when a woman in my age group asks, "Anne Taylor? Tyler? Um, what does she write?"
