What to expect
Through every family run memories which bind it together - despite everything. The Tulls of Baltimore are no exception. Abandoned by her salesman husband, Pearl is left to bring up her three children alone - Cody, a flawed devil, Ezra, a flawed saint, and Jenny, errant and passionate. Now as Pearl lies dying, stiffly encased in her pride and solitude, the past is unlocked and with it, secrets.
A classic novel from one of America's greatest living novelists, now available as an audiobook.
Critics Review
Her best novel
Anne Tyler is a brilliant writer
A book to be settled into fully, tomorrow be damned. Funny, heart-hammering, wise…superb
The most impressive American novelist of her generation
A classic of contemporary Americana…variously funny and horrifying and finally, quietly, terribly moving
[It is] Beautiful, funny, real, absorbing – Anne Tyler is the writer who made me want to write.
The best of Tyler’s many excellent books
I do think the world would probably be a better place if everyone read Anne Tyler’s Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, but to be honest, anything by Tyler will do. She’s such a brilliantly empathetic writer – there’s no ‘them’ and ‘us’ in Tyler’s world – and she often writes from the perspective of the kind of people who you would walk past and barely notice in the street . . . Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant is a proper family saga filled with beady but compassionate takes on all of the unforgettable characters. Reading Tyler helps people to become better people, and I really fully believe that
Excellently done; the minutiae of domestic landscapes, the lunatic irrationality of family quarrels, the torments of sibling rivalry
Funny, heart-hammering, wise…superb entertainment
