pickIsn‘t this a beautiful photo of 22-year-old Anne Tyler? It‘s on the back cover of this novel–her first–written in 1964. I had to laugh when I heard Anne wanted to burn her first 2 books (this one & Tin Can Tree) because she felt they were formless and wandering. Oh Anne, you have such a gift of defining your characters with the subtlest nuances. And they crawl into my heart every time I open any of your books-especially this one!
