Then he meets Muriel, an eccentric dog trainer too optimistic to let Macon disappear into himself. Immobilized by grief, Macon is becoming increasingly prickly and alone, anchored by his solitude and an unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts. Travel writer Macon Leary hates travel, adventure, surprises, and anything outside of his routine. In this irresistible novel, Anne Tyler explores the slippery alchemy of attracting opposites, and the struggle to rebuild one’s life after unspeakable tragedy. “A body of fiction of major dimensions…Poignant…funny… has never been stronger.” -The New York Times “Incandescent, heartbreaking, exhilarating…One cannot reasonably expect fiction to be much better than this.” -The Washington Post
