Swapped for on the book exchange shelves at Camping Sopalmo, Spain

Fascinating novel about the delinquent son of a rich American family who has reformed and found his place in the world, but still believes himself to be a failure because he doesn't meet up to his family's ideals. Anne Tyler writes wonderfully believable dialogue and every one of her large cast of characters are real people, even those who might only appear for half a page. She's becoming one of my favourite authors and I'm pleased that I still have so much of her back catalogue to discover!

On the book exchange shelf in Recepcion.

Thanks for letting this book escape at a favorite camping. Leave another if you're back again this way. I'll leave one the next time we're here. I haven't read Anne Tyler in a while and am looking forward to reading this.
