Rezensionen
Der leuchtend blaue Faden von Anne Tyler
Die erste Hälfte des Buches fand ich ganz nett. Eine nette Familiengeschichte. Der Mittelteil interessierte mich gar nicht, nach dem Ende der ersten Hälfte plötzlich wieder von der Vergangenheit zu schreiben. Der Schluss war dann völlig unbedeutend und eigenartig. Sehr gestört hat mich, dass auf jeder Seite mindestens ein Wort kursiv geschrieben war. Das war sehr nervig. Als Leser weiß man doch selbst, wann man ein Wort betont.

»Es ist einfach Zeit zu heiraten, das ist alles «, sagte sie. »Ich bin diese Verabredungen und das Ausgehen so satt! Ich bin es satt, mich dauernd herauszuputzen! Ich möchte mit einem ordentlichen, ganz normalen Ehemann auf einem Sofa sitzen und tausend Jahre fernsehen.« Maggie und Ira Moran sind seit 28 Jahren verheiratet. Mit den Ritualen und Mustern ihres alltäglichen Lebens erfasst Anne Tyler einfühlsam die Gesetzmäßigkeiten einer ganz normalen Ehe.
