Product Description
Having sacked her handyman, newly-widowed Mrs Emerson finds a replacement in Elizabeth, a lanky, awkward girl. The Emersons have a reputation for craziness, there are seven adult children, and Elizabeth finds herself drawn into their disorderly lives against her will. But in the end it is hard to tell whether she is a victim of the needy Emersons, or the de facto ruler of the family.

Journal Entry 4 by Chania at Kokkola, Keski-Pohjanmaa Finland on Friday, October 28, 2011

Unembellished, honest story about a strange family and also not-so-ordinary girl whose paths cross with it. I liked this a lot, Anne Tyler is defenitively one of my favourite writers.
This book was not over-emotional, but there was deep emotions in it - kept me interested from the beginning to the end. The pace was slow and peaceful.
