Saint Maybe

The World's Greatest Living Author
I leaped from her ninth book straight into this, her twelfth. She's so masterful it's downright scary, folks. The sense of awe that great authors give me was one thing that drove me to write. But if I'd read Anne Tyler's best novels, such as this one, long ago, it ...
Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
Anne Tyler
Ballantine Books
, 1996
The trademark flaws of their lives
Anne Tyler's ninth novel is dominated by a presence--the strong-willed, harried Pearl Tull, mother of three--and an absence--her husband Beck, who has abandoned them. Theirs is a perpetually incomplete family, and the "surviving" four family members spend the remainder ...
Digging to America
Anne Tyler
Knopf
, 2006
wonderful audio version
Blair Brown, the reader for "Digging to America," does a superb job, sounding by turn Iranian, Baltimorean, and all the accents in between. Meanwhile Anne Tyler's delicately nuanced characters all find their ways into the reader's/listener's heart. I especially ...
The Amateur Marriage: A Novel
Anne Tyler
Ballantine Books
, 2006
So familiar, so comforting
I absolutely loved "The Amateur Marriage." It was the third of Tyler's novels I've read, and by far the best. As with all her novels, the characters are so fully realized as to seem like they're members of your own family, but what makes "Marriage" excel is that the ...
Ladder of Years
Anne Tyler
Ivy Books
, 1997
Ann Tyler is a Genius
This story, peopled by a truckload of the kind of quirky, vivid characters that are Anne Tyler's specialty, is a gem. Obviously, many people have a negative first reaction to the idea that a woman could simply walk away from her life, leaving husband, children, and ...
The Accidental Tourist: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
Anne Tyler
Ballantine Books
, 2002
Brilliant Writer
What a wonderful book. Thank you Anne Tyler for creating such unforgettable characters and filling this book with wit, creativity and enormous heart. I just absolutely loved it.
Breathing Lessons: A Novel
Anne Tyler

The more things change the more they stay the same. Maggie and Ira Moran are a 50ish couple, married back in the 1950's. Like all couples, they had their hopes and dreams, and many of them have come true, though not exactly as they had envisioned. Marriage is not a ...

E.D.C. Publishing

Well worth it.
I originally borrowed this book when I was looking for a history reference book to use with my seven year old. I enjoyed it so much that I had to purchase my own copy. Though I bought it to use for homeschooling my son, I enjoyed the book so much I was up nights ...
Digging to America: A Novel
Anne Tyler
Ballantine Books
, 2007
Anne Tyler at Her Best
Oh gosh, folks ... hear the news that this book is not so much about its stated subject matter -- the adopted Asian children, or the American and Iranian families into which they are adopted -- as it is about who these people are and how they react ... The book ...
Earthly Possessions
Anne Tyler
Ivy Books
, 1993
Charlotte Emory, housewife and hostage
Of the many Anne Tyler novels I've read, "Earthly Possessions" is very nearly my favorite. (Ask me next week and I'll point to "Accidental Tourist.") A departure from her character-driven multi-generational household dramas, its dark satire and sinister comedy remind ...

What Will Be Will Be....Lovely Audio Reading By Blair Brown
This review refers to the Unabridged Audio Edition of "Back When We Were Grownups" by Anne Tyler... Blair Brown's reading of "Back When We Were Grownups" is a most enjoyable one. She seems to find in each character, just the right inflections, accents, and ...

The Tin Can Tree: A Novel (1st Ballantine Books Trade ed)
Anne Tyler
Ballantine Books
, 1996
Early signs of genius
My expectations for this book were very low, which might be why I found it so good. I had heard that this was her worst novel. but having read 12 of the other 13, I had to read this one. It lacks the complexities of plot and character of her later novels, but the ...
