This novel made me emphathize with a woman who left her children. Impossible! ( )

This was so good, I'm fairly certain I'll read it again. Classic Anne Tyler. ( )

This story is warm, comfortable and quietly questioning as a good novel often is. A woman wonders almost by accident who she is, what her family means and how she fits in with them. Through her travels over an eighteen month period, she quietly finds answers to questions she didn’t know she had.

Well written, quiet and insightful, this is a well crafted tale, this begs to be transformed into a script for the stage. ( )

Here's what I wrote in 2008 about this read: "Was thinking zero recall, but then recalled the woman leaving her husband and children (permanently) from the beach while on vacation. Based in MD." ( )

I read this book years ago, but still think about it occasionally. That's how I know it had a lot to say. ( )
